Tools that imagineforms rather than looking them up. These are creative linguistic thought experiments — none of the outputs are attested vocabulary unless explicitly marked. Use for exploration, teaching, and asking "what if?" about a Semitic language's vocabulary.
Take a Semitic loanword and imagine native-sounding replacements using two mechanics: NATIVE-STOCK COINAGE (build from a Proto-Semitic root using binyanim/mishqalim) and REFLEX-ADAPTED (apply the target language's regular sound laws to the source form).

A curated showcase of common Semitic loanwords (Aramaic/Greek/Persian in Hebrew and Arabic; Italian/English in Amharic) paired with their imagined or attested native alternatives. Ben-Yehuda-era Hebrew coinings and modern Arabic Academy neologisms are highlighted.
See how Hebrew, Arabic, and Amharic would look without their foreign loan strata.
