As with animals, there is also an extensive reconstructed vocabulary relating to the various forms of plant life in Proto-Indo-European. The general name for ‘tree’, *do ́ru, is attested in eleven different groups, either under its root form (e.g. OIr daur ‘oak’, Grk do ́ru ‘tree trunk; wood; spear’. Hit ta ̄ru ‘tree, wood’. Av da ̄uru ‘tree, tree trunk; wooden weapon’. Skt da ́ ̄ru ‘wood’. Toch AB or ‘wood’) or in derivation (NE tree is a derived form as are, e.g. Grk drus ‘tree, oak’, OCS druva ‘wood’, Alb dru ‘wood, tree’, drushk ‘oak’, OCS dreˇvo ‘tree’). In Celtic and Greek, it tends to mean specifically the ‘oak’ and has religious connotations, e.g. a druid is a ‘tree-knower’.
