Indo-European vocabulary
The following is a table of many of the most fundamental Proto-Indo-European language (PIE) words and roots, with their cognates in all of the major families of descendants.
Notes
The following conventions are used:
- Cognates are in general given in the oldest well-documented language of each family, although forms in modern languages are given for families in which the older stages of the languages are poorly documented or do not differ significantly from the modern languages. In addition, modern English forms are given for comparison purposes.
- Nouns are given in their nominative case, with the genitive case supplied in parentheses when its stem differs from that of the nominative. (For some languages, especially Sanskrit, the basic stem is given in place of the nominative.)
- Verbs are given in their "dictionary form". The exact form given depends on the specific language:
- For the Germanic languages and for Welsh, the infinitive is given.
- For Latin, the Baltic languages, and the Slavic languages, the first-person singular present indicative is given, with the infinitive supplied in parentheses.
- For Greek, Old Irish, Armenian and Albanian (modern), only the first-person singular present indicative is given.
- For Sanskrit, Avestan, Old Persian, Parthian, the third-person singular present indicative is given. Where useful, Sanskrit root forms are provided using the symbol √.
- For Tocharian, the stem is given.
- For Hittite, either the third-person singular present indicative or the stem is given.
- In place of Latin, an Luvian, Lycian) may occasionally be given in place of or in addition to Hittite.
- For Tocharian, both the Tocharian A and Tocharian Bcognates are given whenever possible.
- For the (modern) cognates may occasionally be given in place of or in addition to Welsh.
- For the Old Lithuanian forms may occasionally be given in place of modern Lithuanian; Latvian(modern) may occasionally be given in place of or in addition to Lithuanian.
- For the Church Slavicdialects may occasionally be given in place of Old Church Slavonic.
- For English, a modern English cognate is given when it exists, along with the corresponding Old English form; otherwise, only an Old English form is given.
- For Gothic, a form in another Germanic language (Old Norse; Old High German; or Middle High German) is sometimes given in its place or in addition, when it reveals important features.

- ^ The root could also be found in Anatolian languages with later attestation: Isaurian personal name Τουάτρης Touatris; Pisidian name Δωταρι Dotari.[28] However, Simon Zsolt questions the interpretation of Dotari as a reflex, since this word is attested as a compound in male names.[29]

- ^ This is the other possible attestation of the root in the Celtic branch.[36]
- ^ As argued by Peyrot and Meng (2021).[42]
- ^ cf. divide
- ^ bridegome in Middle English, subsequently influenced by groom (archaically "servant, man").
- ^ But not virus
- ^ These reflexes are suggested by Belarusian scholar Siarhiej Sanko.[51]
- ^ See also Thr goni "woman".[52]
- ^ See also Phry knaiko, knaikan "woman".[53]
- Messapic teuta (community) and Taotor (name of deity); tribal name Teutons.
- ^ However, Robert Beekes suggests a non-Indo-European, substrate origin for the stem and its reflexes.[66]
- ^ hēm- < *ām- (with h- after hum- "you (pl.)") < *asm- < *n̥sm-.
- ^ OE ēow (acc., dat.) and ēow-ic̣ (acc., with the same -c̣ ending visible in 1st. sg. acc. mēc̣ "me", also modern German mich "me"), likewise Old High Germaniuwih "you (acc./dat. pl.)" (modern euch), appear to have the same origin as izw- in Gothic izwis "you (acc./dat. pl)", with unexplained loss of -z-. izwis appears to come from stem izw- plus originally genitive -is, where izw- comes ultimately from PIE *us-we with the loss of u- also visible in Avestan and Celtic, followed by the addition of a prothetic i-. (Ringe, 2006)
- ^ Cf. Latin ne-que, Gothic ni-h, Hittite ni-kku, Lydian ni-k "and not, nor".
- deictic particle visible in Sanskrit anyá- "the other", OCS onŭ "that one", Lithuanian anàs "that one". Michiel de Vaan, in a review of Demiraj's Sistemi i numerimit, suggests PIE *H₂en-io-no- > pre-Proto-Albanian *ëńán > Proto-Albanian *ńâ > një. M. Huld (Basic Albanian Etymologies, p. 101) attempts to derive një from PIE *sm-iH₂, feminine of *sem "one" and reflected in Ancient Greekmía; this etymology is also tentatively suggested in Don Ringe et al. "IE and Computational Cladistics", p. 75 (Transactions of the Philological Society 100, 2002).
- ^ For example, qñnã-tba "twelve" (litt. "ten" plus "two").[73]

- ^ Built upon osmŭ "eighth" < *H₁ok̂t-mo-.
- ^ With nasalization after *septḿ̥ "seven".
- ^ There is the possibility that Lycian sñta could mean either "ten" or "(one) hundred".[78][81]
- ^ But not kephalḗ!
- ^ Possible Anatolian reflex of the root, as posited by Sasseville (2020).[110]
- ^ Only in *aíƕatundi "bramble", literally "horse-tooth".
- ^ Expected form is *vōs, not *bōs; evidently this is a borrowing from Oscan or Umbrian.
- ^ bóu, báu are archaic genitives; later báo, bó.
- ^ Celtic river-goddess
- ^ In the latter case, a direct parallel to Skt. go·vinda- "cow-finder"
- ^ River in Ireland
- ^ Proposed by Yakubovich and Sasseville (2018).[124]
- ^ Cf. also Phry ἔξις or ἔζις (ezi) "hedgehog".
- ^ In ancient Roman tradition, the Avernus was a lake where birds died as they flew near it.
- Illyrian tribal name Enchele"eel-people".
- ^ The name migrated to Eastern Europe,[150] assumed the form "azhdaja" and the meaning "dragon", "dragoness"[151] or "water snake"[152] in Balkanic and Slavic languages.[153]
- ^ See also Ovinnik 'a spirit of the barn'.[192]
- ^ a b Lit. drinking implement
- ^ Via French né, née
- ^ Cf. Sanskrit janitár-, Greek genetḗr, genétōr, Latin genitor "procreator".
- ^ Seen in many personal or tribal names: Biuitoni, Biuonia, Dago-bius, etc
- ^ This borrowing is found in almost every Slavic language and is said to be "without doubt the most famous Germanic loanword in Slavic" (Pronk-Tiethoff (2013))
- ^ Derived by some from *men- "to think"
- ^ standard present tense formed using a suppletive root
- ^ all Slavic languages
- ^ Under the misguided influence of Greek stûlos "pillar"
- ^ Cf. Asteria (litt.) "starry one"; Astraeus "god of dusk" (litt. "starry"); Astraea "star-maiden"; Cretan king Asterion "starry".
- ^ acc. stā̆rǝm, gen. stārō, pl. nom. staras-ča, stārō, acc. strǝ̄uš, gen. strǝ̄m, dat. stǝrǝbyō.
- ^ Tīw < *déywos was the Germanic god of war, but originally was a sky-god and head of the gods, like Zeus.
- ^ *déywos > Lat. deus; gen. *deiwī > Lat. dīvī. From each stem a full declension was formed.
- ^ According to linguist Vitaly Shevoroshkin, the noun exists in other Anatolian languages: Lycian ziw-; Lydian civ-; Luwian Tiwa-; Palaic Tija-.[123]
- ^ Other dialectal variants are Cretan awélios or ābélios; Doric āélios.
- ^ Seen in chamomile (from khamaimēlon "earth-apple") and chameleon (from khamailéōn "earth-lion").[190]
- ^ a b c d It is unclear how the original PIE forms produced the attested daughter-language forms. After the loss of laryngeals, original *péh₂wr̥, ph₂unés would regularly produce *pāwr̥, punés. It is possible that this form was considered too strange-looking, with the result that the u vowel was borrowed from the second stem into the first, yielding *púwr̥, punés. This compressed to *pūr, punés, and this stem set, or its regularized version *pūr, purés, might form the basis of the Umbrian, Greek and Armenian forms. For Germanic, however, something else must be at work. Ringe (2006) suggests that the following sequence of events produced Gothic fōn: Collective péh₂wōr -> ph₂uṓr (cf. Tocharian B puwar) > puōr > Proto-Germanic fuwōr > fwōr > fōr -> fōn (using -n- from the oblique stem), where -> indicates a change due to analogy, while > indicates a regular sound change. His explanation of funins and fuïr is very tentative and complicated. Pokorny's suggestion for Germanic is rather different. He derives fōn from *fwōn, with no further derivation, but probably different from Ringe's. fuïr comes from *puweri, a locative that could be formed from a nominative *púwr̥ or possibly from a stem *pur-. It suffices to say that the processes involved are not well understood.

- ^ The literal meaning is "place between the rivers".
- ^ Scholarly opinion seems to agree that the word must have referred to a large body of water.
- OEsār, compare Ger sehr
- ^ a b *H₁le(n)gʷʰ- and *h₁rewdʰ- are both roots that form Caland-type adjectives. These roots are notable in that they form zero-stem adjectives with certain characteristic suffixes, especially -ro- and -u-, along with -i- in compounds. Other examples are *h₂erǵ- "white" (cf. Greek argós < *argrós "white", Sanskrit ṛjrá- "brilliant", Tocharian B ārkwi "white", Greek argi-kéraunos "with bright lightning") and *dʰewb- "deep" (cf. Lithuanian dubùs "hollow" < *dʰub-u-, Tocharian B tapre "high" < *dʰub-ro-).

- ^ Etymon rudá appears in idiomatic expressions denoting "anger".[338]
- Latin etymons galbus ("yellow") and galbinus ("greenish-yellow") are also suggested to derive from this root.[344]
