Prenant comme exemples trois articles d’Antoine Meillet sur une question de reconstruction indo-européenne, sur une question de langue homérique et sur le développement des conjonctions, cet article montre que non seulement les questions abordées par Meillet, mais fréquemment aussi ses réponses sont encore pertinentes aujourd’hui, sinon toujours de dicto, du moins souvent de sensu, et que même sa présentation des données invite à une relecture pr…
Hrach Martirosyan. Iranisches Personennamenbuch.V/3
Within the series on Iranian personal names (PN) attested in direct and indirect transmission, running since Manfred Mayrhofer's volume from 1979 on Avestan and Old Persian onomastics, this book is another impressive collection of Iranian data in one of the most important “Nebenüberlieferungen”, viz. Armenian, which was in contact with Iranian languages at least since the invasion of the Assyrian empire by the Medes in the 7th c. BC. Especially P…
The passive voice in ancient Indo-European languages
The IE languages developed different strategies for the encoding of the passive function. In some language branches, the middle voice extended to the passive function to varying extents. In addition, dedicated derivational formations arose in a number of languages, such as the Greek - ē-/-thē- aorist and the Indo-Aryan - ya- presents. Periphrastic formations involving a verbal adjective or a participle are also widely attested, and played an impo…
Murmur, heat and bonds – on some words of magic and healing
The paper argues that a) Germanic *tauf/ƀra- (Germ. Zauber, etc.) is related to a root PIE *deu̯p- ‘beat; make a hollow sound, resound’ found in Greek δοῦπος ‘thud’, etc., b) Greek φάρμακον goes back to the root PIE *gwher- ‘heat’ (Gk. θερμός, etc.) implying healing by fomentation, and c) Armenian hiwand ‘sick’, borrowed from Iranian, to PIE *sh2ei̯- ‘bind’ relying on the notion of disease as a supernatural bond
A note on Vedic cīti
Vedic cīti-, attested in the Atharvaveda, is argued to be related to Av. ṣ̌āitī-, OP šiyāti- ‘happiness’ built to PIE *kwi̯eh1- ‘to (come to) rest’

Hittite naḫ(ḫ) - ‘to fear’, OIr. nár ‘noble, modest’ and Greek νῶτον ‘back’, Latin natis ‘rump, buttock(s)’
It is argued that the Hittite verb naḫ(ḫ)- ‘to fear’ and derivatives like naḫšaratt- ‘fear’ and OIr. nár ‘noble, modest’ are related to Greek νῶτον ‘back’, Lat. natis ‘rumb, buttocks’ based on PIE *neh2- ‘to turn (one’s back)’ which served to denote both the body part turned away from the interlocutor, similar to Lat. dorsum ‘back’, and the emotion ‘fear’ inferrable from the body motion ‘to turn one’s back’, similar to Lat. terga vertō
The walking and the dead
The paper argues that the Proto-Germanic adjective *kwikwa- ‘alive’ is not related to PIE *gih3o-, as is usually assumed, but represents a reduplicated formation based on PIE *geh2- ‘take a step, walk’, i.e. *gi-gh2ó- ‘walking’ which was used metonymically in the meaning ‘alive’. A similar form may underly Vedic jágat- ‘world’, originally ‘all that moves’, if this is derived from *ge-gh2ét- of the type Skt. sravát- ‘stream’ (: srávati ‘flo…
Gr. σφήξ ‚Wespe‘ und uridg. *(s)bheh1gh
It is argued that Greek σφήξ, σφηκός ‘wasp’ may be derived from the PIE root *(s)bheh1gh- ‘be irascible; start a fight’. The insect’s belligerent nature has been noted both in European antiquity and in various cultures around the world. The inverse of Grassmann’s Law (e.g. nom.pl. σφῆκες, not *σπῆχες) seems to be regular in paradigms with word-initial σφ-. The form σφάξ in Theocritus may be hyperdoric
The Development of Prefixation in Time and Space
The paper argues that seemingly aberrant phonological developments of local adverbs that have become prepositions and verbal and nominal prefixes in Baltic, Germanic and Armenian are to be explained by the assumption of a phase of ‘ditropic’ behaviour: ‘ditropic clitics’ select as their prosodic host any stressed word preceding their syntactic host without forming a semantic unit. This enclitic behaviour of forms that in the historically attested…
Cretan μωλεῖν ‘Contend, Bring an Action to Court’
It is argued that Cretan μωλεῖν ‘contend, bring an action to court’ may be derived from PIE * melh 3 - ‘to go, walk’, attested also in Gk. prs. βλώσκω, aor. ἔμολον, reflecting the frequent usage of motion verbs in legal contexts meaning ‘file a lawsuit’. The derivational basis of μωλέω may have been a thematized root noun * mṓlh 3 -s ‘going (to court)’ or a vr̥ddhi-formation based on *μολός ‘going’
Greek and the Indo-European Verb
This article reviews Andreas Willi’s study of the history and prehistory of the Greek and Proto-Indo-European (PIE) verbal system which tries to put the data of one of the ‘classical’ languages of PIE reconstruction back onto the centre stage after much attention has been given to Anatolian (Hittite, etc.) and Tocharian in recent decades. It argues that in the earliest reconstructable phase PIE had ergative alignment and that the switch to nomina…

Dissimilatorischer Schwund von /l/ im Griechischen
The paper examines possible cases of dissimilatory loss of one of two laterals in lexemes of Ancient Greek, comparing the contexts of dissimilatory loss of /r/ studied by Vine (2011). While /l/ is lost in onset position after C, it is dissimilated to /r/ in coda. As the process is sensitive to syllable weight, it may provide further evidence for Ancient Greek as a language using the syllable as its basic prosodic category in the sense of Auer (19…

Non-canonical subject marking
Classical Armenian shows genitive case-marking of the subject of transitive predicates based on the participle ending in - eal , while the subject of intransitive predicates has nominative case marking. In the passive construction, which uses the same participle, the subject is also marked as nominative. The genitive-subject construction is unusual in itself given that Armenian has nominative case marking of the subject of both transitive and int…
Regular sound change and word‐initial */i̯/‐ in Armenian
One of the well-known cruces in Armenian historical phonology is the question of the development of Indo-European /y/ in word-initial position, for which no fewer than four different outcomes seem to present themselves, /dz/ as in jez ‘you [acc.pl.]’ ~ skt. yūyam, /dž/ as in ǰowr ‘water’ ~ lith. jūres, /Ø/ as in nêr/ner ‘sister-in-law’ 〈 IE *(H)yenh2ter-, and /l/ as in lowc 'yoke' ~ skt. yugam. In spite of the scantiness of the material available…
