Indogermanisches etymologisches Wörterbuch

The Indogermanisches etymologisches Wörterbuch (IEW; "Indo-European Etymological Dictionary") was published in 1959 by the Austrian-German comparative linguist and Celtic languages expert Julius Pokorny. It is an updated and slimmed-down reworking of the three-volume Vergleichendes Wörterbuch der indogermanischen Sprachen (1927–1932, by Alois Walde and Julius Pokorny).

Both of these works aim to provide an overview of the lexical knowledge of the Proto-Indo-European language accumulated through the early 20th century. The IEW is now significantly outdated, especially as it was conservative even when it was written, ignoring the now integral laryngeal theory, and hardly including any Anatolian material.

gollark: He was meant to be doing the obstacle course thing, didn't particularly do anything, and was told by Mr Wilde to work out how to use the xbox controller, which is doomed to failure I think.
gollark: I know Joshua *isn't*, at least?
gollark: I'm not clear exactly what everyone is doing, but:- Ojas and someone are doing mechanical/hardware design, which is general to basically all the challenges- me and Aidan are doing cameras and sensors, which generalizes to most of them- actually I have no idea if anyone else is doing anything
gollark: Only because lots of people are effectively just ignoring the team divisions.
