As the name of a city, there is no reason to believe this word existed in Proto-Semitic. More likely it was borrowed from the original language into other Semitic languages at a much later time. There is no agreement about when and where Proto-Semitic was spoken (or even about whether it ever existed as a single language in the first place), but regardless, it very likely predates any settlements in the Jerusalem area. --WikiTiki89 21:49, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

- No it's a different guy I think. And this one is a much less drastic anachronism. --WikiTiki89 15:07, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
- My mistake. The IP I'm thinking of did edit that page a month after it was created, but wasn't the creator. No, this user has his/her own baggage to deal with, but playing time-travel fantasies with the dictionary isn't something they do. I still wouldn't trust their judgment on this, though.
