The database represents the updated text of J. Pokorny's "Indogermanisches
Etymologisches Worterbuch", scanned and recognized by George Starostin (Moscow),
who has also added the meanings. The database was further refurnished and corrected by
A. Lubotsky. Pokorny's text is given practically unchanged (only a few obvious typos were
corrected), except for some rearrangement of the material. The numbers in the lemmata
are given after the root (e.g. Pokorny's 1 . bi^er- appears as b^^er-l) because automatic
alphabetization would otherwise too much affect the order of the lemmata.
Laryngeals
Laryngeals are sounds that occurred in the Proto-Indo-European language, caused
changes to neighbouring sounds, and disappeared. They were postulated to explain
anomalies in the verb system, and they proved useful for explaining other phenomena. It
was many decades before confirmation of their existence was found, in the newly
deciphered Hittite language. Linguists are still not agreed on how many there were or how
they were pronounced.
'Laryngeal' is also an ordinary phonetic term meaning made in the larynx; but it is
preferable to call this glottal or laryngal, to avoid confusion with the still unknown values of
the Indo-European consonants.
The problem
The verbs were central to the reconstruction of the ancestor of Indo-European languages,
which was going well in the 1870s, and explanations had been found for the vowels i and
u, and unaccented o. This postulated an earlier stage in which the only vowel was e. Most
verbs had a stem of the form consonant - e- consonant-, the base vowel -e- surrounded
by consonants. Other vowels were derived from them.
The anomalous verb stems were those that had no consonant preceding, such as *ed-,
'eat', or a long vowel and no following consonant, such as *dhee- 'put', and those that had
the vowels a and o. Those with other vowels also lacked consonants, and had the same
pattern as the e-stems: *ag- 'drive', *okw- 'look', *staa- 'stand', and *doo- 'give'.
If a and o had been normal vowels, why were there no normal-shaped stems CaC- and
CoC-? Why were these two vowels also associated with lack of consonant? If long vowels
were normal, why were there no stems of the shape ee consonant - or consonant ee
consonant -?
The proposed solution
Ferdinand de Saussure proposed the existence of elements he called coefficients
sonantiques in 1 879, an abstract term not committing himself to any definite phonetic form.
These stood in the place normally occupied by consonants, and caused one or both of two
changes: shifting the neighbouring vowel; and lengthening it if they followed. Then they
disappeared, leaving their mark on the altered vowels.
Later the same year Hermann Moller, seeking to make a connexion between the Indo-
European and Semitic families, introduced the name laryngeal, suggesting that the
hypothetical coefficients were pronounced like the Semitic laryngeals. The term strictly
means pronounced within the larynx, and is synonymous with glottal: Semitic languages
contain ^and the glottal stop. But in Indo-European the "laryngeals" might have been
those, or might have been other guttural sounds such as pharyngeals or velars. We still
have no clear evidence.
At least three laryngeals are usually postulated. A more abstract notation is to use schwa
with a subscript number. An alternative, much more common these days, is to use some
kind of H with subscript. /7/is e-coloured, ^i-is a-coloured, and /7jis o-coloured. So the six
roots given above come from earlier forms with laryngeals:
*ed- from hie6-
*dhee- from d^e 6^ehi-
*ag- from /7ieg-
*staa- from ste/?^-
*okw- from hsekyN-
*doo- from de/75-
Sometimes evidence shows a laryngeal, but the vowel colouring has been lost so we can't
tell which one it was: this is annotated without subscript, as H.
Proof in Hittite
The regularity of the ablaut grades, described above, was the initial motivation for
postulating laryngeals, but many other niggling exceptions in other parts of the grammar
and vocabulary became simpler to explain if laryngeals were invoked. Each phenomenon
could however have a different explanation. There was no direct evidence for fifty years.
But in 1927 Jerzy Kurytowicz announced that Hittite contained consonants in just those
positions where laryngeals were predicted. This had been overlooked when Hittite was first
deciphered in 1915.
Hittite was written in a cuneiform script, borrowed from the Semitic language Akkadian. By
comparison with surviving Semitic languages, it is clear that Akkadian and therefore Hittite
had some kind of guttural sounds, close enough to those predicted for the Indo-European
laryngeals. The exact value of the Hittite sounds is unclear. There was only one letter, now
transcribed h or h, but it was sometimes written doubled, as in pahhur, corresponding to
Greek yoy/'and English fire. In some Hittite consonants, the use of doubling indicated a
voicing contrast, such as /? versus b, but it is not known whether this is true of h. That is,
though the laryngeals were found, we're not sure how many of them Hittite preserved as
distinct sounds, or what exactly they were.
It also appears to imply a fourth laryngeal, because in some cases where an a-coloured
laryngeal is postulated, there is no h in Hittite, though the vowel did become a. Other
instances of h2e6o however show up as ha.
Sanskrit evidence
In Sanskrit the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) vowels eand o both became a, wiping out the
basic evidence for vowel-colouring; but laryngeals are convincing as explanation of at least
three disparate phenomena restricted to the Sanskrit branch. They are the difference
between se/and anit siems; the exceptions to Brugmann's Law; and the existence of
voiceless aspirated stops.
Se/and an/tare ancient Indian grammatical terms, from sa-i 'with i' and an-i 'without i',
referring to the infinitive. Some are like b'^av/tum'to become', from the root b^u, and others
are like kartum'to do', from kr. Those with i come from roots extended by a laryngeal:
b^eweH-. When the unaccented vowel was reduced to zero grade between consonants,
giving *b^ewHtum, the laryngeal found itself between consonants, so turned into a vowel,
in order to remain pronounceable. In most IE languages this so-called schwa
indogermanicum became a, but it is characteristic of Sanskrit that it became /
The presumed laryngeal also triggered vowel lengthening. With the past participle suffix -
tosthe accent is removed from the stem, and both stem vowels are reduced to zero, giving
*b^wHt6s. In this position the »ythen turns into a vowel, *bhuHt6s, and then lengthening
and loss of the laryngeal (as in the original ablaut pattern laryngeals were invented for)
give the actual Sanskrit b^uutas.
In later (Classical) Sanskrit the range of set roots was extended by analogy, so not all set
roots mark laryngeals. All languages undergo extensive ploughing-over and early patterns
are often obscured.
Normally PIE o became Sanskrit a. Brugmann's Law says that when this happened in an
open syllable before a resonant (a liquid or nasal), it was also lengthened. So *kekore's\\e
/he made' regularly becomes cakaara. Comparison with Greek shows that the first person
'I made' should have been *kekora, which should have also become cakaara, but the
actual form is cakara. Something prevented Brugmann's Law operating. It might have
been an analogy with some other T form, in order to keep the two persons distinct; but the
unusual thing about the perfect tense ending -a'l' is that, while the vowel a\s common in
PIE stems, it's very rare in inflections. This suggests it only occurred where created by a
laryngeal. Then the PIE form *kekor/7ie would contain a closed syllable -kor-, not open -ko
, so Brugmann doesn't apply.
The third major strand from Sanskrit evidence is the voiceless aspirates ph th th ch kh.
They were long regarded as part of the original PIE consonant set, but actually evidence
for them outside the Indo-lranian branch including Sanskrit is slim. Kurytowicz proposed
that they developed from a plain stop p 1 1 c k that had come to be next to a laryngeal when
the intervening vowel dropped out. So the Sanskrit root stha- 'stand' came from steH2- and
the new consonant th was then generalized to all forms of the word.
Greek and Armenian evidence
Armenian is a solitary branch of the Indo-European family, markedly different from all
others, but in several respects it and Greek share unusual features. Some words,
particularly in front of n I r, have an extra (prothetic) vowel compared to other branches.
Greek onoma, Armenian anun, cf. English name, Latin nomen, Sanskrit naaman.
Greek odous, Armenian atamn, cf. English tooth, Latin dens, Sanskrit dantah.
Greek aster, Armenian astt, English star, Latin stella.
Greek eleutheros, Latin liber 'free'.
From the vowel preserved in Greek we can see which laryngeal was originally there:
Hlleudh- 'free', H2ster- 'star', H3nom- 'name'.
Greek and Sanskrit share the augment, an initial vowel e- (becoming a- in Sanskrit) on
some past tenses. Armenian also has this, though only on the third personal singular of
monosyllables. They also have reduplication in the perfect tense. The pluperfect is formed
with both augment then reduplication. Where there was a laryngeal, this sometimes
causes lengthening. So Hlleudh- 'free' gives eleeluutha 'I loosened', from e-Hlle-HHeud^^-
H2e. In a few cases the vowel-colouring effect of the laryngeal is also preserved.
The lengthening effect seems to explain the two Greek words ikhthuus 'fish' and muus
'mouse'. We can suspect that there was a laryngeal here, because the Armenian words
are jukn and mukn. This also shows that it's not strictly true that the laryngeals
disappeared from all modern languages.
There are more direct survivals in Armenian:
Latin anus = Hittite hannas = Armenian han
Latin avus = Hittite huhhas = Armenian haw
Latin ventus = Hittite huwantsa = Armenian hogi
Other branches
Albanian is another unique and distant branch of Indo-European, and also preserves some
actual descendants of the laryngeals, in words like hidhur 'bitter', hidhe 'nettle', hut 'empty',
and herdhe 'testicle'.
Some Latin perfect tenses are formed by reduplication, but others are formed by
lengthening the vowel: these may be in places where laryngeals are predicted. So edo 'I
eat', edl'l ate', from originally reduplicated hie-hi6-.
Etruscan is not an Indo-European language, but might be distantly related to the family as
a whole. The word for 'before' is hant-, whereas Latin has ante.
The attempt to link Indo-European to other families, called the Nostratic theory, has a
problem with laryngeals. Although Nostratic would connect Indo-European to Semitic, the
connexion is not very close even within Nostratic. All the other groups that would belong
somewhere in the superfamily - such as Kartvelian, Uralic, Altaic, and Dravidian - show
little or no evidence of ever having had laryngeals.
Pronunciation
The Nostraticist Allen Bomhard writes that we can now state with complete confidence the
values of the laryngeals. This of course means we can't do anything of the kind. They
could be almost anything.
One good idea is that /?/, h2, and habere respectively palatal, velar, and rounded velar
fricatives, that is [g], [x], and [xw]. This fits the pattern of stops [kj k kw] that we already
know about, and also makes them quite easy for us to pronounce. None of those awkward
pharyngeals.
But /7/was more easily lost, so perhaps it was something weaker, like a glottal stop. /74if it
existed could have been {tf[. /72and /75 might have been pharyngeal. /75 might have been
voiced (because of the Hittite writing); as it caused o-colouring it was very likely rounded
(labialized).

Gender category in Indo-European.
§ 1. Origin of gender in Proto-Indo-European.
It is proved that it would be wrong to mix the categories of gender and sex in Proto-Indo-
European noun system. Modern Indo-European languages which have gender at all,
usually make these two categories the same: what is female in sex, is female in gender.
What has no sex, is neuter - for those languages which use neuter, like Slavic and
German.
Proto-Indo-European shows a completely different system of gender. And though linguistic
schools argue about the more likely structure of noun genders in the Proto-language,
some facts can be stated for sure.
First, Proto-Indo-European had no gender. At that time the language consisted not of
morphological items, like nouns, verbs and adjectives, but just of words which acted
independently in the sentence. The main grammar means of the language was not the
declension and conjugation, but the combination of words, and the word order. Nouns
lacked any endings, case suffixes, formants of gender of number.
Later, when the language acquired the ergative structure, where all words should be
clearly distinguished between active and inactive (or animate and inanimate) classes.
Here, on this stage, nouns first get the declension. Most scientists believe there were two
or three noun cases at that time in Proto-Indo-European: ergative case, which denoted the
subject and indirect objects, absolutive case, which meant subject and direct objects, and
maybe genitive, which could exist in the stage of forming. We must stress that only active,
animate nouns could be declined, and nouns denoting things did not have cases at all.
There was still no gender, but it was already shaping. The ergative structure was slowly
transforming into another type of the language. When a special case was invented for the
direct object (accusative), the language could be already named nominative. Words were
already divided into nominal and verbal parts of speech - nominal including modern nouns,
adjectives, pronouns, numerals, and verbal uniting verbs and perfect verbs - two quite
different sorts of words at that time. While the ergative structure was declining, the nominal
part of speech was divided into two ones: nouns, which marked the subject and object,
and the adjective marking the attribute of a noun.
This division was logical: people were going to separate attributive and subjective words,
those which determine and those which state. Adjectives, nevertheless, could not
completely avoid the influence of nouns, and since then they had to follow the noun in
case and number.
This was the time for the gender to appear. And here the opinions of leading world
linguists do not agree. Some of them try to prove, rather successfully, that there was two
genders in Early Proto-Indo-European, and then one of them divided into two. Other argue
there were three genders originally. Let us see the arguments of each of the sides, just in
order to seem objective.
The first version means the following. Two genders which appeared in the Proto-Indo-
European language were invented to separate active and inactive nouns from each other,
to divide nouns meaning animate objects (people, sacred animals, deities) from simple
inanimate things (trees, ground, weapons). The active gender, or active class of nouns,
acquired the ending -si -os\n nominative singular and could be declined according to
case and number. The plural number denoted several animate nouns, their real plurality.
The inactive class, vice versa, could not be declined, its characteristic ending was -ml -
om, and even though it had plural number, it did not mean plurality, but just collectiveness.
Later processes of the language development generated a-stems of nouns, stems in long /
and u. These three kinds of noun stems sooner or later started to denote feminine nouns -
now they were equal to the sex. That is how the active class was divided into masculine
and feminine.
There are several solid proofs of such a point of view. In most Indo-European languages
many noun stems include both masculine and feminine nouns: like short /-stems (Latin
hostis masc, ossis fem). Such nouns, though different in gender, have absolutely the same
declension and only adjectives, attributes next to them, can distinct their gender. Even a-
stems (Latin femina, Lithuanian motina, Greek gunh), made specially for feminine, include
many masculine nouns (Latin nauta, poeta). Such a situation of mixture cannot exist with
neuter nouns which do not mix in declension with masculine or feminine. While masculine
and feminine nouns in most of stems (except a-) still use -sending in all classical Indo-
European tongues, neuter nouns have -m. This very -m\s always repeated in accusative
singular together with nominative singular: this never happens to other genders.
Greek and Latin, being typical Indo-European languages, show one more interesting
feature, called "two ending adjectives". Ordinary adjectives use all three genders: Latin
bonus, bona, bonum; but this happens only to adjectives of o- and a-stems which
cooperate, and with all other stems adjectives use only two forms: the same for masculine
and feminine, and another for neuter. Such adjectives as Latin fortis, fortis, forte, are called
two ending adjectives and also show the main thesis of all who state 2 original genders of
Proto-Indo-European: differences between masculine and feminine in Indo-European are
not as big, as those between masculine-feminine and neuter.
The other argument in favour of this theory is the situation in Anatolian languages. It was
proved that the Anatolian branch, later consisting of Hittite, Luwian and Palaic languages,
was the first to move away from the Proto-Indo-European community, and did it even
before the Proto-language acquired some of its significant morphological and phonetic
traits. So Anatolian preserved some interesting archaic moments which we cannot found in
other Indo-European languages. Anatolian languages show no feminine or masculine
languages, and even no a-stems, and genders are two - exactly for animate and inanimate
nouns. The animate gender used -5'ending (as's'us' - good), and the other one either had
-/7 (derived from Indo-European -m), or no ending at all, subsequently did not decline
(as's'u - good (neut.)). This makes us believe that such a system is the Early Indo-
European one: Anatolian languages were the only group to preserve the 2-gender
structure .
The third proof concerns the plural number . Masculine and feminine nouns and adjective
in Indo-European use the ending -es\n nominative plural, and -ns\n accusative plural. All
other cases also have their inflections. As for neuter words, their ending -a\s used both in
nominative and in accusative . Plural neuter nouns denoted collective unity in Proto-Indo-
European, like modern Russian nebesa "skies" which does not mean "several skies" but
"sky in a collective meaning". Such nouns in the Proto-language included many words
which later will be included into the feminine a-stems - their endings in nominative were
the same. For example, Latin aqua (water) is originally a collective neuter noun in plural:
"waters". In Greek, ancient Indo-lranian languages and in Hittite the subject in neuter
plural form always use their predicate in singular. This is maybe the most important
evidence of the special position of neuter in Proto-Indo-European: it was inactive .
Besides a-stems, Indo-European formed the feminine gender , different from masculine ,
with one more type of noun stems: long /-stems . Obviously, the suffix -A meant the
possession on archaic stages of the language (Sanskrit rathah "a chariot", rathih
"something belonging to a chariot"). Later this meaning could go in two ways: it might
begin to mean the possessive genitive case (remember -/in Latin, Venetic and Celtic) and
to form the feminine gender , if Indo-Europeans looked at the woman as a possession of
the man. That is how long /stems turned out to be all feminine.
So from that moment, when Anatolian languages already migrated to Asia Minor, when a-
stems and /stems appeared, and the opposition emerged between masculine and
feminine nouns, we can speak about three genders in Indo-European: masculine ,
feminine , neuter .
There are linguistic schools which do not agree to the fact that the Proto-language used
two genders, and not three. They say that Anatolian just united masculine and neuter, for
its a-stems phonetically coincided with masculine c^stems, so the genders coincided as
well. Other explain this unification by the substratum influence . But anyway, the 2-gender
version seems much better proven.
§ 2. Genders in ancient and modern Indo-European languages.
When the Proto-language disappeared, transforming into different groups, the gender
system chose its own way in each of them. But the general trend in every Indo-European
language was quite clear: the number of genders was going to reduce.
Hellenic languages in their ancient varieties (Ancient Greek dialects) preserves the three-
gender structure, and its peculiarities often show the closer connections between
masculine and feminine, than between them both and neuter (2-ending adjectives, etc.,
see above). Ancient Greek represents the classical neuter endings in -n< *-m. In Greek
neuter plural subjects have usually a singular predicate: ploia plei (ships move). The New
Greek language also shows three genders, and their opposition is strengthened by the
extensive use of articles, also declined in three genders.
Italic can be called classical in this meaning as well. Latin shows no sign of reduction of
genders, and its neuter plays an important role in the language. The reduction of some
final consonants in Umbrian influenced the so-called Popular Latin, which was quickly
moving towards the analytism in morphology, lost many endings and so many gender
forms coincided with each other, which could not but lead new Romance languages in
their majority to the 2-gender opposition with the loss of neuter. In many modern Romance
tongues the function of differentiating genders passed from the inflection to the article
usage: French has no other signs of genders, but un, une, le, la, some prepositional forms
like du- de, and adjective endings gros - grosse. In some languages, however, the
process of secondary morphologisation of genders is going on nowadays: Spanish
generated new endings for masculine and feminine: hermano - hermana, cabron - cabra.
This interesting feature seems to make us think that the gender development history goes
the same way as the case system development.
Germanic languages are called the most analytic among all modern Indo-European
tongues. While all ancient varieties of Germanic (Gothic, Old Norse, Old English) used
three cases, the modern languages reduced their number. English and Afrikaans removed
genders at all from their morphology: English preserved them only as a "hidden category",
which can be seen in personal pronouns he, she, it (for example, ships are always she).
German uses both some infections and first of all the article, definite and indefinite (der -
die - das, ein - eine). An interesting thing happened in Scandinavian languages: they lost
the opposition between masculine and feminine and returned to the ancient system of two
noun classes for animate - inanimate nouns. This proves once more that feminine and
masculine in fact are similar in the language.
Iranian languages used to have all three genders in ancient tongues (Avestan, Old
Persian), but under the influence of analytic trend the system was destroyed or reduced,
and many modern Iranian languages do not have genders at all . It can be also connected
with the adstratum and substratum languages, which influenced Indo-European structural
features. Genders are completely lost also in Armenian.
Baltic linguistics shows that Old Prussian had neuter which was not about to disappear at
all. But Lithuanian lost it somehow, not very long ago. Some relics take place, however, in
adjectives and in pronouns, but in fact now Lithuanian knows only feminine and masculine
(see Historical Grammar of Lithuanian).
The most complicated system exists in Slavic languages, where genders were not only
preserved, but also developed. For example, in Russian the category of gender united with
that of animateness , forming the common system of classes: at all there are 6 classes ,
three genders with animate - inanimate subgenders in each . See the forms of nominative
and accusative plural in Russian: novye doma ("new houses", nom., masc, inanimate),
novye doma (ace); novye direktory ("new directors", nom., masc, animate), novyh
direktorov (ace). The same for feminine and neuter.
In Polish even further complication of gender structure happened : masculine has animate
and inanimate forms, and animate has in its turn personal and impersonal forms in plural.
So:
dom (nom. sg. inanimate), dom (ace. sg.) "a house"
pies (nom. sg. animate), psa (ace. sg.), psy (nom. pi.), psy (acc.pl.) "a dog"
chlop (nom. sg. animate personal), chlopa (ace. sg.), chlopy (nom. pi.), chlopow (ace. pi.)
"a peasant"
According to these processes which independently move on in different groups of the
Indo-European family we can make a conclusion that genders do not behave exactly the
way noun cases do , i.e. the reduction process is sometimes substituted by the complex
changes (Slavic, Spanish). But in general we can state that genders are nowadays less
synthetic and less spread, than they used to be in the Proto-Indo-European language.

skin the very name of the goat was stamped with the name of the cloud shaker.

move violently, swing, vibrate).

Whether in this variety so order is to be brought that *arjg"'hi- and *eghi-, *oghi- (gh) an

Root / lemma: abel-, abol-, abj-

Note:
Root/ lemma: abel-, abol-, abJ-\ apple' derived from Root/ lemma: om-{*hamel)\ "raw,

Material:
Maybe Old Indie: abala- m. "the plant Tapia Crataeva' {"Crataegus roxburghii' (H. Ebel KZ

Latin Abella {Qsq,2x\ town, city in Campanien) /775///fe/'a "apple-bearing', after Verg. Aen. 7,
740, might have received her name after of the apple breeding and reject on the basic
form *ablona. The apple is not named possibly only after the town.
In the Celtic the names are to be distinguished for "apple' ( *ablu) and " apple tree '
{*abaln-). Gall, avallo^ fruit ', Aballo {n-sievn) PN, French Avallon, abrit. PN Aballava, gallo-
rom. *aballinca^ Alpine mistletoe ' (Wartburg);
Maybe lllyrian PN Aulona
Old Irish ubull{*ablu) n. "apple', ncymr. afal, PI. afalau, corn. bret. avalm. "apple', but

f., acymr. aballen, ncymr. afa//en ' app\e tree' (with singulative ending).
The same ablaut forms in the Germanic:
Crimean Gothic ape/{Goth\c *ap/s7), Old High German apfu/, afful. Middle High German
apfel. Old English seppel {qx\(^\. apple). Old Norse eplix\. {apa/-grar ' app\e-graY') "apple'.

Jablonb "apple tree', from Indo Germanic *ai6»o//7- (influences the sound form of *ablo
"apple').
Although a uniform basic form is not attachable, it becomes both Latin Celtic
Germanic Balto Slavic forms only around ancient relationship and barely around borrowing
act. With respect to Latin abies' fir' etc. very uncertain.
Note:
The oldest IE cognate is Luvian: *samlu(wa)- "apple-(tree)'; Attestations: [HittErgSg] sa-

Notes: {1} The forms with a- may show the influence oi abud/s'app\e, clover'. {2} This
plant name is probably a borrowing from the lllyrian Venetian substratum language. The
Slavic forms with *jbm- must be due to popular etymology (the mistletoe's sap is used to
produce bird-lime), cf. OCS /mat/^to take'. An etymological connection with PIE *bim-'to

of -cc-in Demin. bacillum, for which repeatedly delivers baccillum, compare also imbecillus
"(without support) weak, frail ' from -baccillos. Pisani (REtlE. 3, 53) places baculum as
*bat-lo-m\.o battud, that he considers as Oscan- Umbrian loanword (from *bakt-).
Maybe Latin baca{bacca) -aei. "a berry, fruit; a pearl', bacalis, it'aca/e "berry-bearing
(designation of the female laurel), MFr. {*bacale) Bacoule, n.f. Be/ette 'weaseV : alb. buk/e

Gr. pQKAa TU|jnava (i.e. " club ') Hes., otherwise " club, shillelagh, stick ', is probably
borrowed from Latin
Middle English pegge, engl. peg^ pin, peg ', Modern High German pege/'po\e'; but

Against it Old Irish bacc {n\r. bac) " stick, a crook ', cymr. bach^ corner, hook ', bret.
bac'h " heel, stick ' (from " clutch, crutch of the stick '), are in the Island-Celtic or already in

Note: Despite SKE 75 there is no reason at all to suppose a Chinese origin of the Turkic
form (MC ja-man 'savage, barbarian' is too distant semantically; the usage of PT *jaman
for a bad disease, sickness is very close to Japanese and may suggest that the original
meaning of the root was 'ill(ness), sick(ness)').

Therefore alb. teta "eight' is a zero grade of Lycian aitata {*oRtd(u)ta) "eight'. It was initially

they do not demand an association with them.
On the other hand for Celtic *durno-o'r\e considers relationship with Latvian dure, dun's

Who were Dorian tribes? Dorians were Celtic tribes who worshipped trees. In Celtic they

of Druids must have worshiped the dominant thunder god whose thunderbolt used to strike
sacred trees. Druids must have planted the religion around the sacred oak at Dodona.

Dardanus
by Micha F. Lindemans
The son of Zeus and Electra. He sailed from Samothrace to Troas in a raft made of hides.
He eventually married Batea, the daughter of King Teucer, who gave him land near
Abydos. There he founded the city of Dardania (the later, ill-fated city of Troy).
Hence the name Dardanelles for what was once called the Hellespont.
DARA
DARA (Dara, Ptol. vi. 8. § 4). 1 . A small river of Carmania, at no great distance from the
frontier of Persis. There can be little doubt that it is the same as the Dora of Marcian
(Peripl. p. 21) and the Daras of Pliny (vi. 25. s. 28). Dr. Vincent conjectures (Voyage of
Nearchus, vol. i. p. 372) that it is the same as the Dara-bin or Derra-bin of modern charts.
2. A city in Parthia. [APAVARCTICENE]
3. A city in Mesopotamia. [DARAS] [V.]
DARADAE
DARADAE the name of Ethiopian tribes in two different parts of Africa; one about the
central part, in Darfour (Daradon ethnos, Ptol. iv. 7. § 35), the other in the W., on the river
DARADUS also called Aethiopes Daratitae. (Polyb. ap Plin. v. 1; Agathem. ii. 5.) [P. S.]
DARADAX
DARADAX (Daradax), a Syrian river, mentioned only by Xenophon (Anab. i. 4. § 10). It
has been identified with the Far, a small tributary of the Euphrates. At the source of the
river was a palace of Belesis, then satrap of Syria, with a large and beautiful park, which
were destroyed by Cyrus the Younger. (Anab. I. c.) [G.W.]
DARADUS
DARADUS, DARAS, or DARAT (Darados e Daras, Ptol. iv. 6. § 6), a river of Africa, falling
into the Atlantic on the W. coast, near the Portus Magnus, and containing crocodiles (Plin.
V. 1); probably the Gambia or Dio d'Ouro. [P. S.]
DARAE
DARAE a Gaetulian tribe in the W. of Africa, on a mountain stream called Dara, on the S.
steppes of M. Atlas, adjacent to the Pharusii. (Plin. v. 1; Oros. i. 2; Leo Afr. p. 602.) [P. S.]
DARADRAE
DARADRAE (Daradrai, Ptol. vii. 1. § 42), a mountain tribe who lived in the upper Indus.
Forbiger conjectures that they are the same people whom Strabo (xv. p. 706) calls
Derdae, and Pliny Dardae (vi. 19), and perhaps as the Dadicae of Herodotus (iii. 91, vii.
66). It is possible, however, that these latter people lived still further to the N., perhaps in
Sogdiana, though their association with the Gandarii (Sanscrit Gandharas) points to a
more southern locality. [V.]
DARANTASIA
DARANTASIA a place in Gallia Narbonensis.
DARAPSA
DARAPSA [BACTRIANA p. 365, a.]

DARADRAE (Daradrai, Ptol. vii. 1. § 42), a mountain tribe who lived in the upper Indus.

Material: A root with variant determinative root.
without conservative extension seems to be the zero grade root in Norwegian ul
"become moldy', dial, also " fill with disgust ', Swedish uT rancid ' etc., holl. uilig^ decayed
' (from wood); derived verbs are Norwegian schw. ula. Old Norse Norwegian schw. ulna. If
Old Indie ala- n., alaka- {* ol-n-ko) " poison ' belongs here, it remains dubious.

etc.
Maybe alb. aike, a/Aa "floating cream, wool fat, dirt, stain' : Old Indie alaka-^ poison '.
That Latin ulva ( *oleua) " swamp-grass, sedge ' moreover belongs, is very probably;
Lithuanian a//rs/75 'puddle' could go back to *olg-sna.
Dental extension appears in:

Old Norse ylda^ mustiness smell '.

£V£vriKovTa;
thrak. £V£a (v. Blumenthal IF. 51, 115);
Note:
This is wrong etymology. Greek order was reversed Root/ lemma: oRtd(u)\ 'eight' + Root/
lemma: neuos, -ios: 'new' > gr. *£Fva-: zwd-zizc,. The shift k'^> p, g"'> b'\s a common gr..
Greek also reflects an lllyrian-alb. trend as it puts the ordinals and adjectives after the

Norse /7/^/7c/' number 9' and Old Indie navatf-, Avestan navaiti-i. '90', actually nine of

Note:
Anatolian languages show a pattern similar to alb. So Lycian aitata {* oRtd(u)ta) 'eight' : alb.
/e/a 'eight'; Lycian nuntata ^n\ne' : alb. nanda'n\ne'. Therefore alb. shtata 'seven' derived

Saxon sivotho. Old English seofoda, Lithuanian septintas, also Old Indie saptatf-, Avestan
haptaiti-lQ\ in alb. -ta, -teare attribute endings that were solidified in Anatolian and Indie
cognates. The attribute /a (used in the genitive and adjectives) is unique to alb. language
alone.
Therefore alb. teta "eight' is a zero grade of Lycian a/tata {*oRtd(u)ta) 'eight'. It was initially
an ordinal number used as an attribute [compare Latin octuag/nta' 80'].

One assumes connection with *neuo-'ne\N', because a new countable segment has

After Pedersen KG. I 129 here Middle Irish i(u)chair{*ikuri-) f., Gen. i(u)chrach' roe,
eggs of a fish, eggs of various crustaceans ' and Church Slavic ikra, russ. ikra. Upper
Serbian jikro, jikno ds., that is further identical with Slavic ikra 'plaice' and ikra "calf (and of
that Baltic correspondences or rather leaning forms. Old Prussian yceroy, Latvian ikrs. Old
Lithuanian Gen. ikru) under a basic meaning 'clump, intumescence '. Also Indo Germanic
*/e/r7f could be based on the same view.
It is difficult perhaps distorted taboo Armenian leard. Gen. Ierdi^\\yef (compare finally
Cuny Recherches 68 ff.). Whereas belong Old Norse iifri. 'liver'. Old English iifer, engl.
liver. Old High German libera, lebaraio gr. kxua^oo, 'fat' (see Root / lemma: leip-1\ to
smear, stick), so that the original epithet of the (fattened) liver also the old word for liver
was displaced, like LaWu jecur ficatumhas lead to Italian fegatoeic
A proto Indo Germanic basic form 7/e/r7Y appears to be risky.

between Tenuis (*A tenuis consonant is one which is unvoiced and unaspirated. That is, it
has a voice onset time close to zero), voiced-nonaspirated, voiced-aspirated, which can be

imitation of quick snaps through this sound ("catch, grasp, snap ').

In Sanskrit, the name Manu appropriately came to mean "man" or "mankind" (since Manu,
or Noah, was the father of all post-flood mankind). The word is related to the Germanic
Mannus, the founder of the West Germanic peoples. Mannus was mentioned by the
Roman historian Tacitus in his book Germania. Mannus is also the name of the Lithuanian
Noah. Another Sanskrit form, manusa is closely related to the Swedish manniska, both
words meaning "human being."
The same name may even be reflected in the Egyptian Menes (founder of the first dynasty
of Egypt) and Minos (founder and first king of Crete). Minos was also said in Greek
mythology to be the son of Zeus and ruler of the sea.
The English word "man" is thus also related to the Sanskrit manu, as well as its
equivalents in other Germanic languages. Gothic, the oldest known Germanic language,
used the form Manna, and also gaman ("fellow man").
The name Anu appears in Sumerian as the god of the firmament, and the rainbow was
called "the great bow of Anu," which seems a clear reference to Noah (note Genesis 9:13).
In Egyptian mythology Nu was the god of waters who sent an inundation to destroy
mankind. Nu and his consort Nut were deities of the firmament and the rain. Nu was
identified with the primeval watery mass of heaven, his name also meaning "sky."

Note: 0CH51 2, 57. A monosyllabic root, but, unlike the 1st p. pron. or the accusative

was in most cases already incorporated into the verbal form as a suffix. It is interesting to
note Mong. *bui, *bu'neg. particle' - which may be originally the same morpheme, but
functioning as a separate word and thus subject to the rule *mV > *bV.

Root / lemma: oRtd(u)
Meaning: eight
Note:
Root/ lemma: oRtd(u)\ eight derived from the extended Root/ lemma: ok-\ "to think over,
*understand, see, count' + -/is attribute formant modelled after lllyrian attribute nouns,
adjectives. Hence PIE numbers derived from previously ordinal numbers.
Material: Old Indie asta, astau {besides asTtf-i. " eighty '), Avestan astaio Avestan asti- "
width of four fingers ' (to Sg. *asta-), Henning TrPhSoc. 1948, 69; Armenian ^/'(probably
from *optdW\Vc\ p assumed from seven p)\ gr. oktw; alb. tete {*oktd-t-)\
Note:
Anatolian languages show a pattern similar to alb. So Lycian 5//5/5 "eight' : alb. /e/5 "eight';
Lycian nuntata'n\ne' : alb. nanda 'n\ne'. Therefore alb. 5/7/5/5 "seven' derived from a
truncated *sa{pjtata^ seven' later Old Indie saptathah, Avestan hapta&a-. Old Saxon
sivotho. Old English seofoda, Lithuanian septintas, also Old Indie saptatf-, Avestan
haptaiti-lQ\ in alb. -ta, -teare attribute formants that were solidified in Anatolian and Indie
cognates. The attribute -/5 formant (used in the genitive and adjectives) is unique to alb.-
Anatolian languages alone.
Therefore alb. tefa "eight' is a zero grade of Lycian a/tata {*oktd(u)ta) "eight'. It was initially
an ordinal number used as an attribute [compare Latin octuag/nta^ 80'].
A better explanation is the fact that Anatolian languages used the Akkadian script which
did not permit 2 subsequent consonants, therefore a vowel was introduced between the
double consonants found in:
Northern
Runic

Old Norse

Norwegian

Perhaps Tocharian A swance, swanco, Tocharian B swancai- "ray [of light], (sun) beam'
reflect Proto Tocharian * swancai- which is possibly (with Hilmarsson, 1986a:263-95, in
nuceP\sav\\, 1942-43a:29) related to Proto-Germanic *sun&a- *"sunny' > "south' and
*sunnd'sun' (cf. P:881-2; MA:556). The two Germanic words would reflect PIE *sufianto-
(a derivative of *sehawel-lsuhan- "sun') and, with "particularizing" -/?-, *suhantdn-l suhaiiten-
Isufiantn-. The attested paradigm of Germanic * sunno reflects a conflation of the o-grade
and the zero-grade stems {*suhantn- > *sun&n- > *sunn-). For Hilmarsson, the Tocharian
forms represent a generalization of *sufianten-, further derived by the addition of -ai-.
Note:
The root *suhanten- is an attribute noun created in tlie same way as adj. and ordinal
numbers:
Anatolian languages show a pattern similar to alb. So Lycian aitata {* oRtd(u)ta) "eight' : alb.
te/a "eight'; Lycian nuntata ' n\ne' : alb. nanda'n\ne'. Therefore alb. 5/7/a/a "seven' derived
from a truncated *sa{p)tata' seven' later Old Indie saptathah, Avestan hapta&a-. Old
Saxon sivotho. Old English seofoda, Lithuanian septintas, also Old Indie saptatf-, Avestan
haptaiti-10\ in alb. -ta, -teare attribute endings that were solidified in Anatolian and Indie
cognates. The attribute /a (used in the genitive and adjectives) is unique to alb. language
alone.
Therefore alb. /e/a "eight' is a zero grade of Lycian aitata {* oRtd(u)ta) "eight'. It was initially
an ordinal number used as an attribute [compare Latin octuag/nta' 80'].
That means Slavic *su/n/ka-n. in Old Church Slavic s/bnbce^ sun ' (-a?/- from * 0^/7/ "fire') is
phonetically equal to Tocharian A swance, swanco, Tocharian B swancai- "ray [of light],
(sun) beam', hence Slavic forms were created according to attribute nouns ans are late
creations.

Note:
The root Root / lemma: skei-\ (to cut, separate) is detrimental for alb. language because
alb. people chose it to design clear speech: alb. {*skei-b-), shq/p' c\ear speech, separated
words', {*skipta) shq/pto^speak clearly', {*skipta) shq/ptar' peop\e who speak clearly'. Alb.
people employed these cognates during Turkish long occupation to preserve their
language. Hence people who didn't speak clearly were ostracized by the majority of alb. so
important became the clear Indo European language to alb. that they finally switched from
the name Arban (Alban) to {*skipta) shq/ptar' peop\e who speak clearly'. Other alb.
derivatives: {*Schabe) shkabe'eag\e (with sharp talons)', alb. Geg {*scipioni) Shq/pn/'\and
of eagles'. Obviously alb. association of {*skipta) shq/ptar' peop\e who speak clearly' and
{*skipion) shqiponje^eaq\e' was distorted by lllyrian soldiers serving in the Roman army.
Illyrians who didn't speak Latin translated the Roman military ensign with the eagle as:
scipio -onis, m. "a staff, wand' = alb. {*scipion}) shqiponje^ihe eagle (itself)', also alb.
{*scipioni) Shq/pn/land of eagles'. When Gergj Kastrioti "king of Epirus' presented his
heraldic emblem of the eagle (the double headed imperial eagle) he inadvertently changed
the name of his people, lllyrian emperors had introduced the double headed eagle of their
Hittite heritage.

Note:
Anatolian languages show a pattern similar to alb. So Lycian aitata {* oktd(u)ta) "eight' : alb.
/e/a "eight'; Lycian nuntata 'n\ne' : alb. nanda'n\ne'. Therefore alb. shtata 'seven' derived

Saxon sivotho. Old English seofoda, Lithuanian septintas, also Old Indie saptatf-, Avestan
haptaiti-lQ\ in alb. -ta, -teare attribute endings that were solidified in Anatolian and Indie
cognates. The attribute /a (used in the genitive and adjectives) is unique to alb. language
alone.
Therefore alb. teta "eight' is a zero grade of Lycian aitata {*oRtd(u)ta) 'eight'. It was initially

Root / lemma: uper, uperi
Meaning: over, above
Note
Centum languages prove that Root/ lemma: uper, uperi: "over, above' derived from an
older Root/ lemma: *hukwer, *hukweri\ "over, above', later the old laryngeal was lost.
What becomes clear is the common gr.- celt, -kw- > -p-. Therefore Root/ lemma: uper,
uperi: "over, above' derived from the same root as the cognates for horse. This root
developed from the concept of climbing a horse: Root/ lemma: eRuo-s: "horse'. The sky
above was seemly called according to the horse goddess : gall. Epona' The Celtic horse
goddess whose authority extended even beyond death, accompanying the soul on its final
