The Middle Verb vidērī
[The so-called passive of videō is in reality an old middle, corresponding to Homeric ∊ἴδ∊ται, ἰδέσθαι and meaning from prehistoric times ‘seem, appear’. The meaning ‘be seen’ is late, secondary, and very rare. This view, besides being in consonance with the evidence of other IE languages having verbs derived from the base * weid -, is confirmed by the occurrence in early Latin of a deponent form of videō (Curculio 260–1; Epidicus 61–2). The midd…
The Voice of the Indo-European Perfect
When you first learn Greek, you are naturally surprised when you come to the principal parts of γíγ νομαι and find γ∈ νήσομαι, νόμην and then apparently a perfect active: , and finally . This paper has to do with the true interpretation of this phenomenon and similar anomalies which occur in Indo-Iranian and also, in one or two isolated instances, in Latin
The Indo-European Middle Ending -r
[If we accept the Indo-Hittite hypothesis, the existence of middle r -paradigms in both Hittite and Indo-European puts the middle ending - r back into Indo-Hittite. Even if we assume that Hittite is simply one of the IE dialects, the evidence for medial r -forms in PIE is still overwhelmingly strong. The semantic aspect is important. There is virtually no positive evidence for a volitive impersonal in - r. But verbal r -forms with middle meaning …
Venetic tolar, Old Irish canar, and the Indo-European Injunctive
[In Venetic inscription no. 249, Ethnographic Museum of Vienna, the r in the second line goes with tola in the first and tolar is a verb, third singular present middle, and not a noun. It belongs with OIr. canar and has an indicative and personal meaning ‘he dedicates’. canar means in the Old Irish glosses ‘is sung’, not ‘there shall be singing’. The comparison of Old Irish, Latin, Oscan ( fufans ), Venetic, Greek ( ἔτλᾱν ), Lithuanian, Old Ch. S…
The Hypothesis of the Italo-Celtic Impersonal Passive in -r
[The untenability of Zimmer's hypothesis that the r -endings of Italic and Celtic come from an IE third plural active ending, which developed into an impersonal passive or ‘man‘-form.]
