A propos de ce livre

Ceci est une copie numerique d'un ouvrage conserve depuis des generations dans les rayonnages d'une bibliotheque avant d'etre numerise avec
precaution par Google dans le cadre d'un projet visant a permettre aux internautes de decouvrir 1' ensemble du patrimoine litteraire mondial en
ligne.

Ce livre etant relativement ancien, il n'est plus protege par la loi sur les droits d'auteur et appartient a present au domaine public. L' expression
"appartenir au domaine public" signifie que le livre en question n' a jamais ete soumis aux droits d'auteur ou que ses droits legaux sont arrives a
expiration. Les conditions requises pour qu'un livre tombe dans le domaine public peuvent varier d'un pays a 1' autre. Les livres libres de droit sont
autant de liens avec le passe. lis sont les temoins de la richesse de notre histoire, de notre patrimoine culturel et de la connaissance humaine et sont

trop souvent difficilement accessibles au public.

Les notes de bas de page et autres annotations en marge du texte presentes dans le volume original sont reprises dans ce fichier, comme un souvenir
du long chemin parcouru par 1' ouvrage depuis la maison d' edition en passant par la bibliotheque pour finalement se retrouver entre vos mains.

Consignes d 'utilisation

Google est fier de travailler en partenariat avec des bibliotheques a la numerisation des ouvrages appartenant au domaine public et de les rendre
ainsi accessibles a tous. Ces livres sont en effet la propriete de tous et de toutes et nous sommes tout simplement les gardiens de ce patrimoine.
II s'agit toutefois d'un projet couteux. Par consequent et en vue de poursuivre la diffusion de ces ressources inepuisables, nous avons pris les

dispositions necessaires afin de prevenir les eventuels abus auxquels pourraient se livrer des sites marchands tiers, notamment en instaurant des
contraintes techniques relatives aux requetes automatisees.

Nous vous demandons egalement de:

+ Ne pas utiliser les fichiers a des fins commerciales Nous avons concu le programme Google Recherche de Livres a l'usage des particuliers.
Nous vous demandons done d' utiliser uniquement ces fichiers a des fins personnelles. lis ne sauraient en effet etre employes dans un
quelconque but commercial.

+ Ne pas proceder a des requetes automatisees N'envoyez aucune requete automatisee quelle qu'elle soit au systeme Google. Si vous effectuez
des recherches concernant les logiciels de traduction, la reconnaissance optique de caracteres ou tout autre domaine necessitant de disposer
d'importantes quantites de texte, n'hesitez pas a nous contacter. Nous encourageons pour la realisation de ce type de travaux l'utilisation des

ouvrages et documents appartenant au domaine public et serions heureux de vous etre utile.

+ Nepas supprimer V attribution Le filigrane Google contenu dans chaque fichier est indispensable pour informer les internautes de notre projet
et leur permettre d'acceder a davantage de documents par 1' intermediate du Programme Google Recherche de Livres. Ne le supprimez en
aucun cas.

This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

Usage guidelines

Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.

We also ask that you:

+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for

personal, non-commercial purposes.

+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.

+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.

+ Keep it Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
legal
because we believe
a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

element in it Pre-scientific
work like that of Hintner and Zehetmayr, both of whom
published in 1873, is hardly worth mentioning: it was
not till the publication in 1876 of Brugmann's discoveries
that anything was known about vocalic laws. For other —
languages also etymological dictionaries are rare. For
Umbrian we have Bucheler, for Oscan Zvetaieff, for
Greek my 'Etyma Graeca,' for Gothic Feist, for German
Kluge, for Old Slavonic Miklosich, for Armenian Hiibsch-
mann for Irish and Welsh, Old Norse and Anglosaxon,
:

Lithuanian, Zend and Sanskrit, we have no complete


etymological dictionary at all. — It may thus appear,
both that an etymological Latin dictionary was wanted,
and that it was not easy to compile one. Kluge had

PREFACE

380 words of obscure origin, which cannot as yet be classi-


fied, these 3055 words fall into the following three classes

I. *
inherited ' words, having cognates in other Indoceltic
languages : about 1130.
II. 'manufactured* words, derivatives or compounds of
the words in class I. about 930. :

III. 'imported' words, borrowed from Greek or other


languages about 615. :

,
So much for the scope of the work : next for details of
its arrangement. The sign t preceding a '
head-word ' (i.e.

the first word of an article) denotes that the word is

borrowed from some foreign language. (It is often how-


ever difficult to draw the line Latin derivatives from loan-:

words, e.g. topi arias, are left unmarked.) Loanwords which


are not head-words are marked either by f preceding,
'
'

or by being put in brackets thus after the translation of


:

each head-word I give in brackets the more interesting of


the English words borrowed (often through many stages)
from the Latin word. For details on these English loan-
words I would refer to Skeat's 'Concise Etymological
Dictionary of the English Language where he puts ' :

several words under one head I have given the leading


word and added the sign &c.\ It is of course often *

difficult to decide whether a word is borrowed or not I :

suppose Gothic haban to be borrowed from Latin habeo,


the Teutons originally having no word for 'have* (the
Welsh still have none, and in Latin itself we may say
'est mihi pater' for 'habeo patrem'). When two loan-
words in any language are nearly identical in form the
sign t is put before the first only, e.g. fbalneum balineum,
*t"Tcwr»7$ Sams.
A numeral after a word denotes that the word concurs in
form with another word, or even several other words, of

distinct origin : I have thus been obliged to divide praestc


into two words, dringo into three, ruo into four.
Cognates in Umbrian and Osco-Sabellian are given onlj
when they are in themselves instructive. The cognates
from other languages are given in the following order
Greek, Celtic, Teutonic, Balto-Slavic, Armenian, Arian.
I have not thought it necessary to give a cognate from
Welsh when I had given one from Irish, nor from Old
Norse or Anglosaxon or German when I had given one
from Gothic, nor from Lettish or Prussian when I had

given one from Lithuanian. When possible, Nouns are
given in the Nominative Singular (a rule embracing words
from Hesychius which he gives in some other case) Verbs :

are given in Zend and Sanskrit in their roots, in Teutonic


and Old Slavonic (unless the translation shows otherwise)
in the Infinitive, in other languages in the First Singular
Present Indicative. Boots, stems, and words found only
as the element of a compound are marked by a dash
first

following; which is itself accented (-) when we know from


Verner's Law (that after a barytone vowel a Tenuis becomes
in Teutonic not an Aspirate but a Media) that such was
the original pitch-accent. (The accent, when marked,
always denotes pitch-accent or 'tone,' not stress-accent.)
Greek disyllabic Prepositions are marked as paroxytone.
Enclitics in Greek have a grave accent, in other languages
a dash preceding. Sanskrit words unaccented in the MSS.

are left unaccented. Hypothetical forms are denoted either
by prefixing an asterisk or by putting a letter in brackets
e.g. €kai(F)ov denotes that l\aiov was originally ZXatfov. —
The position of a single letter (or combination of letters) is

denoted by a dash; e.g. "a-" denotes initial a, "-a-"


medial a, "-a" final a. — When a word is given partly in
Eoman partly in Italic type, the part in italics is alone to
be compared with the other words mentioned. —The sign

PREFACE ix

'fr.' may roughly be read as 'from/ more exactly as


'connected with'; it denotes that the two words have the
same root, or are 'Ablauts' of each other.
The translation of a word, where no translation is given,
is the same as that of the next-preceding translated word

translated, i.e., into English (for convenience' sake the


translation is sometimes into Latin or Greek). Parentheses
are not considered as interrupting the sequence of construc-
tion. The abbreviation 'E.' followed by a comma denotes
that the English cognate has just been given as a trans-
lation of some other cognate word: the abbreviation 'E. E.'
denotes not '
Early English
but that the English cognate '

has just been given and that one or more English cognates
follow. A Latin or Greek word quoted simply for the sake
of its form untranslated.
is left When a word is the same —
(as to both form and meaning) in two related languages, I
write it only once e.g. " Zd. Sk. ma~ measure " shows that
:

ma- means to measure '


alike in Zend and Sanskrit.
'

Similarly "Ags. E. fin" denotes that Anglosaxon fin and


English fin are cognate words and of the same meaning.
As a rule a vowel not marked long is to be reckoned
short. But to this rule there are some limitations :

(1) When a vowel in Latin stands before two consonants


I have endeavoured to mark it according to its etymological
quantity, not according to the quantity it may have acquired
from the nature of the consonants ; and where the etymo-
logy is obscure or ambiguous the quantity, if marked, is

not to be taken as a guide to the possible etymology, forma


may go with ferio strike (as rwros form with tvtttid)
'
'
' '

though in deference to authority I have marked the o long


(see note at end of preface)
(2) As to marks of length in other languages than Latin :

I have, following myunmarked the quan-


authorities, left
tities of Umbrian, Oscan, and Welsh vowels. I have

marked Gothic and Sanskrit e 6, though always long, bu


left unmarked Lithuanian y if e O and Old Slavonic i y u a

which likewise are always long. In Irish and Old Norse 1

mark vowels as long, not with an accent in Anglosaxon ] :

write ea eo (not, as Sweet does, ea eo), and use ae oe foi


the long diphthongs, a 6 for the short. In Lettish I write
e not eh, in Old Slavonic e not g.

A note of interrogation at the end of an article is meant


to apply to the words preceding after the last colon or
semicolon. In the explanation of a Compound, e.g. maid-
festus, the note of interrogation implies that the second half
of the Compound is of obscure origin. —
Where no etymology
at all is given, it is to be understood that none yet proposed
is satisfactory : many of such cases the ordinary (un-
in
scientific) etymology may be found in Lewis and Short.
The following 360 derivations are, so far as I know (it is
difficult in such matters to speak with certainty), my own

NOTE ON HIDDEN QUANTITIES
It seems that certain combinations of consonants in Latin
lengthened the preceding vowel, others shortened it, others
(which is most perplexing of all) sometimes lengthened
sometimes shortened it, probably in different dialects and, ;

to complicate matters still more, each of our rules has


numerous exceptions. Eor the determination of these

which these writers rely are
(a) the testimony of Latin Grammarians (* Gramm.'), and the old

spellings of i u as

(£) the usage of Plautus and Terence, who before Mute + Liquid
allow a vowel to be long only when it was long by nature :

than usual, the other long vowels accented
(8) the Greek transcription of Latin words (* Gk.'), I u = et ou, e 6 =

(e) the evidence of the Eomance languages (' Rom. '), which repre-
sent 1 vl by iu but I ti by e o, and e 6 by close e o (pronounced i.e.

the tongue flat).

INTRODUCTION
The languages spoken by the nations of Europe, with
isolated exceptions (the ancient Etruscans, the modern
Basques of north Spain, the Magyars, Turks, Esthonians,
Livonians, Ugrians, Finns, and Lapps), and of Asia from
the Caucasus to Ceylon, resemble each other sufficiently
to justify the supposition that they all descend from one

common original or Ursprache


'
the speakers of which,
'
;

issuing from Scandinavia in search of a warmer climate,


separated in various directions. The Teutonic stock re-
mained in Scandinavia or occupied central Europe ; the
Celtic race proceeded to the British Isles, Gaul, and Spain
the Italic to Italy; the Albanian to the east side of the
Adriatic ; the Hellenic to Greece ; the Balto-Slavic to
eastern Europe; the Armenian, probably through Thrace
and Asia Minor, to the district south of the Caucasus ; the
Arian to Persia and India.
The family of languages here described has been denoted
by several names, none quite satisfactory. The quasi-
biblical term 'Japhetic* has died out, though the corre-
sponding term Semitic has survived all the other terms
'
' :

hitherto suggested labour under the defect of insinuating


that the race came originally from India, a view wholly
untenable. Max Miiller's 'Aryan/ from Sanskrit dryas 'a
high-caste man,' has the merit of being short, and of
lending itself to the convenient compound un- Aryan/ but '

is in pronunciation indistinguishable from Arian/ the '

term applied by the Germans to Zend and Sanskrit : of


the three compound designations, *
Lido-Germanic,' by far
the worst, as excluding the Celtic branch, has been adopted
by the Germans, Bopp's Indo-European is cumbrous and
'
'

not quite accurate,the French


while Indo-Celtic is *

logical enough, as giving the two extreme branches of the


family, and might perhaps be adopted in the modified form
'Celtindic'.
Albanian, with a literature dating only from the 17th
century, is of importance to be here noticed
too little :

sufficient will be found in Gustay Meyer's


information on it
*
Albanesische Studien' (1883-1884). The remaining seven
branches of the family may be. thus distributed

(1) Teutonic:
. Gothic, preserved in Ulfilas' translation of the New Testament,
4th century of our era.
Old Norse or Icelandic, with literature from the 12th century.
Anglosaxon or Old English, from the 7th to the 13th century.
Old High German, with glosses from the 8th century Middle do., ;

the language of the Nibelungenlied, 12th century; New do.,


from the 16th century.
(2) Celtic:
Gaulish, a few remains derived from Latin authors or inscriptions.
Old Irish, glosses of the 8th and 9th centuries Middle Irish, the :

earliest MS. a.d. 1100.


Welsh, glosses of the 8th and 9th centuries : the earliest MS. of
the 12th century.
(3) Italic
Latin, the first inscription perhaps 300 B.C.; earliest author
(Plautus) 224 B.C.
Umbrian, preserved in the Eugubine Tables, the first part (* Old
Umbrian,' perhaps 200 B.C.) written in Etruscan characters,
the last (' New Umbrian,' perhaps 100 B.C. from V. b. 7 to the :

end) in Latin.
Osco-Sabellian, inscriptions from about 200 B.C.
(4) Greek, from Homer (b.c 800?).
(5) Balto-Slavic or Lithu-Slavic
Lithuanian, with literature from the 16th century.
Lettish, from the 16th century.

Prussian or Old Prussian, of the 15th and 16th centuries, now


extinct.
Old Slavonic, Church- Slavonic or Old Bulgarian, frorh a transla-
tion of the Bible by Methodius and Cyrillus, 9th century.
(6) Armenian or Old Armenian, 5th to 11th century.
.

(7) Arian:
Zend or Old Bactrian, the language of the Avesta, the oldest parts
of which are said to date from 1000 B.C.
Old Persian, the language of the Behistun inscriptions, about 500
B.C.
Sanskrit, said to date from 1000 B.C., and divided into two periods,
Vedic and Classical Sanskrit, the latter from about 400 B.C.
The earliest Indian inscriptions date from about 250 B.C.

The Ursprache, if the speakers of it had known how* to

write, would perhaps have had the following alphabet


Vowels i, u, tf e, o, a i, u, F, E,
: , : o, a.
Diphthongs ei, oi, ai eu, ou, au
: : : ei, oi, ai : eu, ou, au.
Sonants if, n, £, B m, n, l, b.
: :

Liquids m, n, l, b. Semivowels J, v.
: — :

Explosives
Labial p, b, ph, bh.
Dental t, d, th, dh.
Palatal k,g, kh, gh.—Velar kv, gv, khv, ghv.
Sibilants : s, z.

The Ursprache must have possessed a '


modified ' or
French u (which I write fi), short and long, written some-
times u, sometimes (apparently later) i it appears : fre-
quently in Latin, see p. 119, less often in Greek (e.g.

{tyros-tyros) and Old Slavonic (see stipula), and in Sanskrit


in ul il as representing sonant l. —The
Arian languages
sometimes have i where other languages have a, see pater ;
but the i may be due to foreign influence, and hardly
necessitates the theory of an indefinite vowel (which '
'

Brugmann writes as an inverted e), in sound between a



and e. Diphthongs beginning in a long vowel are rare.
For sonant or vocalic r Sanskrit uses a single letter, r

Digitized by VjOOQlC
xxviii INTRODUCTION

the other sonants in Sanskrit, and all the sonants in other


languages, are represented hy a liquid + a vowel (usually
before the liquid) differing in different languages, and of
course different in the short form and in the long. A
sonant maystand either in the accented syllable, e.g. re
in Eng. pretty, or (more often) in the unaccented, e.g. en in
Eng. seven, le or il in Eng. able, evil.

Whether we ought to recognise 'spirants' j and v, as


distinct from the semivowels and v, is extremely doubt-
j
ful: the 'spirant' v is nowhere distinguishable from the
semivowel v, and the 'spirant* j, distinguished only in
Greek (where it appears as initial f, see jam jugum jus 1 zona),
may be only a strongly-pronounced semivowel j. The —
Tenues Aspiratae, ph, th, kh, khv, are rare except in
Greek, in which <f> x represent both kinds of Aspirates.
Palatals and Velars alike are usually called Gutturals the :

palatals seem to have been pronounced nearer the front of


the mouth (as k in Eng. kill), the velars further back (as c
in Eng. cool). The palatals are preserved in the Western
languages (Teutonic Celtic Italic and Greek), but in the
Eastern (Balto-Slavic Armenian and Arian) become spirants
the velars in the Eastern languages are written as k g gh
(or their equivalents) with no v following, while in the
Western languages they vary in different words, i.e. are
sometimes written as k g gh (or their equivalents) with no
v following, and sometimes with a v following or (dialec-
tically) as Labials or (in certain positions) Dentals. It is
thus possible that we ought to recognise two different sets
of velars, which have been kept apart in the Western
languages and confused in the Eastern : the '
fixt ' velar
in the roots given below under seed garrio congius gradus
shows no sign of a v in any language, the labialisable '

velar given under -sequor venio ninguit regularly shows a v


(or is labialised) in the Western languages. But how the

Digitized by VjOOQlC
INTRODUCTION xxix

two sets were distinguished in pronunciation, or how to


represent them, does not appear.
The perhaps insoluble question of the origin of language
does not fall within our province. It may suffice to observe
that onomatopoeic words, imitations of sounds, are rare in
the daughter-languages, and must have been correspond-
ingly rare in the Ursprache. Of this kind in Latin are the
following
(1) from human sounds Nouns amita mamma pappus (all infantile),
:

balbus stloppus Verbs lalld pappd (both infantile), scred, and see
:

bibo Interjections a o, hahae hau hex heja heu hui, eheu eho ohe,
:

em en, bat, fu ft, *va (spelt vah or vaha), atat tat tatae, pro prox, st,
hews.
(2) from sounds of animals: dog see baubor, sheep bald; chicken
cuckoo cuculus, hoopoe upupa, owl bubo strix tU, raven crocio,
pipd,
(3) from inanimate sounds: strepo strldo tlnio tintind, tax tuxtax (these
two expressing the sound of blows).

A kind of Onomatopoeia appears in the initial Eedupli-


cation of some words either the whole root is given twice
:

over, cincinnm (of obscure formation) tintind irtulo, or to it is

prefixt the initial consonant + i in Verbs, gigno sido sisto

titubo (see also jejento jejunus), u in Nouns, cucurbita sttsurrus.


The Ursprache was doubtless, like each of the daughter-
languages, a congeries of different dialects. In one of these
initial s before a Tenuis was dropt, whence we have by-
forms in sp- and p-, st- and t-, SC- and c-, see p. 127.
So also the variation in the ending of certain numerals,
see decern novem septem, may have been dialectic. — Other
pairs of forms are more difficult to understand, see
under juvenis, rapum rete, quattuor quinque sex, dices grus
turdus. — Apparently one dialect preferred (as Old Slavonic
does) open syllables, ie. those ending in a vowel hence
:

the occasional instances of Metathesis in the case of liquids,


on-no see umbilicus umbra unguis, ir-ri circus, ur-ru socer,
er-re credo terreo, and in one dialect the vowel in such

Digitized by VjOOQlC
xxx INTRODUCTION

cases was lengthened, see fretus pterins. So the two ways


of representing L and R in Latin point to different dialects
in the Ursprache one had la, ra, the other *51, *2r, and
:

thence (if a consonant followed) al, ar.

In the Ursprache, as in the daughter-languages, the


majority of words were disyllabic; and w£ may call the
first part of the word the '
root ' and the rest the termina-
tion, without supposing that either root or termination was
ever used independently. The root, and to some extent the
termination, were subject as to their vocalism to definite
changes of form (' Ablaut '), probably
vowel-gradation ' or '

originally depending on grammatical construction i.e. the :

word acquired a stronger meaning by copying the vocalism


of some forcible word, an ordinary meaning by copying the
vocalism of most ordinary words, a weaker meaning by
copying the vocalism of less emphatic words. Such Ablaut
may be of three kinds any vowel may be either long or
:

short, certain vowels (especially e and o) may interchange,


e (and in some few cases o.1 ) may disappear entirely. Latin
examples of Ablaut are the following
(1) vowel long or short

A phenomenon akin to Ablaut is the insertion of a nasal


before explosive or sibilant at the end of the root : pampinus
nimbus prehendo y (?), sancio, fringilla jungo langueo ninguit
pungo, fimbriae pinso.

When a new idea arose, or a modification of an old idea,


it was apparently expressed in the Ursprache not by a

xxxii INTRODUCTION

wholly new word, which would have been unintelligible,


but by giving some existent wprd a fresh termination.
Sometimes the initial consonant of the new termination
'
necessitated a change in the final consonant of the 'root
or first syllable : hence we may explain occasional fluctua-
tions in the root-ending, between b and bh cubo, k and g*
pax pagina, kv and gv mugilis siccus.

A sufficient account of the various terminations of words


in the Ursprache is given in Brugmann's Grundriss,' vol. '
