Like Dust on the Silk Road: On the Earliest Iranian and BMAC Loanwords in Tocharian
An Early Judeo-Persian Rabbanite Text: Vat. Pers. 61, Its Linguistic Variety, Its Arabic Vocabulary, and the Targum Onqelos
Vat. Pers. 61, found in the Vatican library, is a Judeo-Persian translation of the Torah. It has been variously described as a 13th, 14th, or 15th century text. This study aims to more accurately pinpoint its age and establish whether it is a direct translation of the Masoretic Text or whether it is based on Targum Onqelos. Based on a limited corpus of this manuscript (the Decalogue and a few other verses), this study also provides a more detaile…
Indo-European Salt and Semitic Bulls. On the Etymology of * milḥ “Salt” and * θawr “Bull”
In this study I will discuss the borrowing of two words, one (*θawr "bull") from Semitic into (post-Anatolian) Indo-European, another (*milḥ "salt") from Proto-Indo-European into Proto-Semitic. For "salt," based on archaeological considerations, I propose that it derives from an Indo-European truncated phrase *"crushed salt" or rather *"ground salt." The etymology of the word for "bull" is based on a root found in Arabic, namely *θ-w-r "to leap, …
Grazing grass in the spring: On the etymology of the PIE word *u̯es-r/n ‘spring’
A Fall into the Pit: Remarks on Tocharian B koṣko, koṣkīye
This paper argues that Tocharian B koṣko , koṣkīye does not mean ‘hut’, as was taken for granted, but ‘pit, hole’; and that it is not an inherited Indo-European word, but an Iranian loanword in Tocharian B. Although the possibility of a borrowing from an unknown Middle Iranian language cannot be excluded, an unattested (Pre-)Bactrian form *kōškā is demonstrated to be the most likely source of this loanword
The spread of iron in Central Asia: On the etymology of the word for "iron" in Iranian and Tocharian
Tocharian B eñcuwo "iron" and Tocharian A añcu* have been connected to the Iranian words for "iron", notably Khwarezmian hnčw. On the basis of insights into the patterns of borrowings from Khotanese into Tocharian, it is argued that the Tocharian words must have been borrowed from a preform of Khotanese hīśśana- "iron". Further, a new etymology is proposed for "iron" that accounts for the variation of this word in Iranian. The fact that Tocharian…

Working with Families of African Caribbean Origin: Understanding Issues around Immigration and Attachment
There is a dearth of research looking at separation and reunion issues for black Caribbean families in the context of migration. Working with Families of African Caribbean Origin is therefore an important contribution. Arnold's book focuses on the experiences of migration and separation in Caribbean families and the long-term associated consequences. It successfully brings together original research to explore the separation and reunion experienc…
