Zusammenfassung:
In Guldemann (2004) I have argued that the Khoe family (alias Central Khoisan) and Kwadi display a number of form-meaning correspondences in the grammatical marking of person, gender, and number. These allow one to reconstruct a common proto-system of personal pronouns and to outline approximate scenarios of how the different marking systems in the modern languages emerged from it. This and strong lexical affinities (cf. Elderkin and Guldemann forthcoming) represent major evidence for the hypothesis that the two units originate in a common ancestor language called for convenience ProtoKhoe-Kwadi.
