M.P. Streck's study examines the functions and the history of all
hitherto known Akkadian verbs which are attested in a ta-infixed basic
stem, based on a comprehensive catalogue. Comparison with other Semitic
languages shows that the Akkadian ta-infixed basic stem is only used in
a direct-reflexive function, not in a indirect-reflexive, and is not
used to denote the passive, whereas other Semitic languages are not
aware of the separative function of the Akkadian. Annexed are
contributions to other ta-infixed verbal stems of Akkadian.
