Indo-European Etymological Dictionary
The Indo-European Etymological Dictionary (commonly abbreviated IEED) is a research project of the Department of Comparative
Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research.[1]
Overview
The IEED project is supervised by Alexander Lubotsky.[2] It aims to accomplish the following goals:
- to compile etymological databases for the individual branches of Indo-European, containing all the words that can be traced back to Proto-Indo-European, and print them in Brill's Leiden Indo-European Etymological Dictionary series,
- to publish those databases free of charge electronically on the Internet, by utilizing Sergei Starostin's STARLING software technology,[3]
- finally, once the etymological dictionaries of the individual branches have been compiled, to create a new large Indo-European etymological dictionary that will serve as a replacement of Julius Pokorny's outdated but still immensely valuable Indogermanisches etymologisches Wörterbuch.
