\data\semham\afaset
Proto-Afro-Asiatic: *ga/ic̣-
Meaning: face
Semitic: *gaṣṣ- 'face'
Central Chadic: *HV-gis- 'silhouette' (?)
Central Cushitic (Agaw): *gac̣- 'face' 1, 'figure' 2
South Cushitic: *gic̣aʔ- 'forehead, face'
Notes: Not quite reliable. The Eth. and Agaw forms may be mutual loans. That Iraqw -c̣ continues Afras. *-c̣ is plausible but not proved. The CCh. form is semantically questionable. Cf. *gʷa(n/h)ĉ̣- 'cheek, chin', *gaṭ- 'cheek, chin, beard', *gʷaʒ- 'cheek, chin, beard'.
