Indo-European Lexicon
Pokorny Etymon and IE Reflexes
Below we display: a Proto-Indo-European etymon from Pokorny, with an English gloss;
our Semantic Field assignment(s) for the etymon, linked to information
about the field(s); an optional Comment; and Reflexes (derived words) in
various Indo-European languages, organized by family/group in west-to-east order where
Germanic is split into West/North/East families and English, our language of primary
emphasis, is artificially separated from West Germanic. IE Reflexes appear most often
as single words with any optional letter(s) enclosed in parentheses; but
alternative full spellings are separated by '/' and "principle parts" appear in a
standard order (e.g. masculine, feminine, and neuter forms) separated by commas.
Reflexes are annotated with: Part-of-Speech and/or other Grammatical feature(s);
a short Gloss which, especially for modern English reflexes, may be confined to the
oldest sense; and some Source citation(s) with 'LRC' always
understood as editor. Keys to PoS/Gram feature abbreviations and Source codes appear
at the end. All reflex pages are currently under active construction; as time
goes on corrections may be made and/or more reflexes may be added.
