Three Alemannic Etymologies
This article proposes new Indo-European etymologies for three primarily Alemannic dialect words: Swiss German Cheib ‘cadaver’, Felb ‘chaff’ and Nidel ‘cream’. Through the identification of cognates in Balto-Slavic and Indo-Iranian languages, their Proto-Germanic forms are reconstructed and interpreted within a broader Indo-European framework. The analysis demonstrates how conservative Alemannic vocabulary can inform Germanic and Indo-European ety…
Icelandic leppa ‘fox’ < *h2lop-n-íh2
Kluge’s Law, unlike Grimm’s and Verner’s Law, remains controversial because of the scarcity of clear cognates linking Germanic geminates with Indo-European nasal clusters. This article argues that Icelandic leppa ‘fox’ continues a formation * h2lop-n-íh2- , directly related to the Indo-European word for ‘fox’. As a previously unnoticed cognate, it enlarges the corpus of forms supporting nasal assimilation in Proto-Germanic, thereby strengthening …
The Indo-European Puzzle Revisited
This book examines the impact of ancient DNA research and scientific evidence on our understanding of the emergence of Indo-European languages in prehistory. Offering cutting-edge contributions from an international team of scholars, it considers the driving forces behind the Indo-European migrations during the 3rd and 2nd millenia BC. The volume explores the rise of the world's first pastoral nomads the Yamnaya Culture in the Russian Pontic step…
Word Mining
The first use of metals in the production of objects among human societies was undoubtedly a defining event with a profound, irreversible impact on craftsmanship, agriculture, trade, warfare, and other cultural and political phenomena. The continuous refinement of metallurgical practice, including the introduction of new metals, has left behind some of the most conspicuous and important archaeological remains. Furthermore, the linguistic and arch…
Indo-European cereal terminology suggests a Northwest Pontic homeland for the core Indo-European languages
Questions on the timing and the center of the Indo-European language dispersal are central to debates on the formation of the European and Asian linguistic landscapes and are deeply intertwined with questions on the archaeology and population history of these continents. Recent palaeogenomic studies support scenarios in which the core Indo-European languages spread with the expansion of Early Bronze Age Yamnaya herders that originally inhabited t…
The origins and spread of domestic horses from the Western Eurasian steppes
Domestication of horses fundamentally transformed long-range mobility and warfare 1 . However, modern domesticated breeds do not descend from the earliest domestic horse lineage associated with archaeological evidence of bridling, milking and corralling 2–4 at Botai, Central Asia around 3500 bc 3 . Other longstanding candidate regions for horse domestication, such as Iberia 5 and Anatolia 6 , have also recently been challenged. Thus, the genetic,…
Proto-Indo-European *sneigwh- ‘to fall down; to snow’
In this paper we present a diachronically syntactic analysis of the PIE verbal root *sneigwh-, arguing that it did not originally mean ‘to snow’, in the proto-language, but rather more primarily ‘to fall down’. Evidence from several Indo-European branches is evaluated and argued to support a scenario in which the former meaning arose from the latter in a so-called impersonal verbal construction
Indo-European Inroads into the Syntactic-Etymological Interface
In this article we report a previously unidentified verbal root for the Indo- European protolanguage, *menkw- ‘to be short; to lack’, based on verbal and nominal reflexes in Italic, Indo-Iranian, Germanic, Tocharian and Anatolian, founded, we claim, in the Caland System, an archaic stratum of the Proto-Indo-European derivational system. In four of five Indo-European subgroups, predicates are found occurring with a subject(-like) argument in a non…
Dutch houting, Danish helt ‘Coregonus ssp.’
This short etymological note presents the North Germanic cognates of the ichthyonym houting ‘Coregonus oxyrinchus’ , which in the Dutch etymological literature on the word have remained unnoticed. It is argued on the basis of Danish helt and related forms that the Proto-(Northwest-)Germanic reconstruction of this word can be set to *halti
The population history of northeastern Siberia since the Pleistocene
The development of the Proto-Indo-European instrumental suffix in Germanic
It has long been acknowledged that Proto-Germanic *-dl- developed into *-ll- by a process of regular assimilation. Since long stops are regularly simplified in heavy and unstressed syllables in Proto-Germanic, some formations that superficially look like l-stems in this language are in reality to be derived from Proto-Indo-European instrumental nouns in PIE *-tl- and *-dhl-. In this paper, I adduce a number of new cases focusing on those l-stems …
Re-theorising mobility and the formation of culture and language among the Corded Ware Culture in Europe
Talking Neolithic
In this article, we approach the Neolithization of southern Scandinavia from an archaeolinguistic perspective. Farming arrived in Scandinavia with the Funnel Beaker culture by the turn of the fourth millennium B.C.E. It was superseded by the Single Grave culture, which as part of the Corded Ware horizon is a likely vector for the introduction of Indo-European speech. As a result of this introduction, the language spoken by individuals from the Fu…

The Proto-Germanic n -stems
The n-stems are an intriguing part of Proto-Germanic morphology. Unlike any other noun class, the n-stems have roots that are characterized by systematic consonant and vowel alternations across the different Germanic dialects. This monograph represents a diachronic investigation of this root variation. It traces back the Germanic n-stems to their Indo-European origin, and clarifies their formal characteristics by an interaction of sound law and a…

Linguistic Supplement To Damgaard Et Al. 2018
We recount the evidence for the so-called “Steppe Hypothesis” discussed in Damgaard et al. 2018 and offer a revised linguistic and historical model for the prehistoric dispersal of three important Indo-European language subgroups—the Anatolian Indo-European languages into Anatolia, the Tocharian languages into Inner Asia, and the Indo-Iranian languages into South Asia—based on the newly analysed archaeogenetic data.
Etymological Dictionary of Proto-Germanic
The Germanic languages, which include English, German, Dutch and Scandinavian, belong to the best-studied languages in the world, but the picture of their parent language, Proto-Germanic, continues to evolve. This new etymological dictionary offers a wealth of material collected from old and new Germanic sources, ranging from Gothic to Elfdalian, from Old English to the Swiss dialects, and incorporates several important advances in Proto-Germanic…
