In recent years a growing realization has coalesced among comparative Semitists that the ventive/energic verbal endings evidenced throughout the various Semitic languages should be related to each other as retentions of an ancestral Proto-Semitic (PS) ventive/energic verbal morpheme. While the exact form of the morpheme and its semantic/pragmatic function are still being debated, the reconstruction of such a verbal morpheme has far-reaching implications for our understanding of the verbal systems in every descendant language, including Akkadian and Biblical Hebrew (BH). In order to apply these implications, however, a better understanding of how a Semitic ventive would have functioned will be necessary. Toward that end, the function and meaning of a Semitic ventive are developed within a Cognitive Linguistic (CL) framework through inductive study of Akkadian's ventive morphology and a cross-linguistic study of ventive morphemes that exist in other world languages. It is argued somewhat deductively based on this cross-linguistic research that ventive morphemes function together with the inherent lexical semantics of different verb types (MOTION, TRANSFER, STATIVE, and FIENTIVE). This insight is then shown to offer a better understanding of the meaning(s) of the Akkadian ventive, especially when used with non-motion verbs.
