Conceptlists in Concepticon:
Unable to identify original sources for Mɛhri, Jibbali, and Harsusi.
Kitchen et al say:
Wordlists for the Ethiosemitic languages (Amharic, Argobba, Chaha, Gafat, Ge’ez, Geto, Harari, Innemor, Mesmes, Mesqan, Soddo, Tigre, Tigrinya, Walani and Zway) and Ogaden Arabic were drawn from Bender (1971). Wordlists for Moroccan Arabic, South Arabian languages ( Jibbali, Harsusi, Mehri and Soqotri) and extinct non-African Semitic languages (Akkadian, Biblical Aramaic, ancient Hebrew and Ugaritic) were constructed from previously published lexicons (Leslau 1938; Gelb et al. 1956; Sobelman & Harrel 1963; Rabin 1975).
I can't see these three in Leslau, Gelb, Sobelman & Harrel or Rabin or Bender.
