Indo-European Linguistics
Proto-Indo-European Roots
PIE */e/
Laryngeal */H1e/, */eH1/
Entries in the table below show Proto-Indo-European (PIE) roots, rendered as Pokorny etyma where the reconstructed phoneme */e/ appears in initial (via laryngeal */H1e/) or final (via laryngeal */eH1/) position. Each root is linked to a page showing the PIE etymon and Indo-European reflexes thereof.
Note: Pokorny's etyma as spelled on this page have been rendered in ISO-8859-1, but links lead to pages rendered in Unicode 3 -- with other renderings available via links there. [Unicode pages generally render Pokorny's etyma and non-English text more faithfully than is possible in ISO-8859-1, so they are much preferred.]
