Hamito-Semitic Etymological Dictionary

Materials for a Reconstruction

By: Vladimir E. Orel,Olga V. Stolbova

The Hamito-Semitic Etymological Dictionary, a project in the making since 1986, is the first dictionary to reflect the vocabulary of the extinct Proto-Hamito-Semitic (Proto-Afro-Asiatic) language. Reconstructed on the basis of Semitic, Ancient Egyptian, Berber, Chadic and Cushitic linguistic groups, the Dictionary plays an indispensable role in further research into the field of historical linguistics. It surpasses by far the only comparable work to date, M. Cohen's Essai comparatif sur le vocabulaire et la phonetique du chamito-semitique, published in 1947, which contains much less material and is now outdated. The Dictionary comprises more than 2,500 lexical items and includes an introduction providing valuable information on the historical phonology of Hamito-Semitic as well as an index of meanings, which supplies linguistics, archaeologists and scholars of ancient history with added insight into the culture of the ancient speakers of Proto-Hamito-Semitic. An invaluable contribution to the field of Afro-Asiatic Studies, The Hamito-Semitic Etymological Dictionary will be used and discussed by scholars for years to come.

Russian Etymological Dictionary: K-O

By: Vladimir E. Orel

This book is a new concise etymological lexicon of the Russian literary language. It provides up to date etymological explanations of thousands of elements of the modern Russian vocabulary. A valuable contribution to Russian, Slavic and Indo European linguistics, four books of the dictionary offers to its readers, linguists, historians, archaeologists, anthropologists, and students of Russian, with a detailed and accurate knowledge of the origins of words, including modern colloquialisms, recent loanwords and dialectal forms. Vladimir Orel, PhD in Linguistics (1981), Russian Academy of Sciences, is a researcher in the field of Slavic and Indo European historical linguistics. He has published Hamito Semitic Etymological Dictionary (1995), The Language of Phrygians (1997), Albanian Etymological Dictionary (1998), The Concise Historical Grammar of Albanian (2000), and Handbook of Germanic Etymology (2003), as well as a number of articles in Russian, Slavic and Indo-European etymology. Dr. Orel passed away during the summer of 2007, leaving the fourth volume of the Russian Etymological Dictionary incomplete. His work was finished over the four years following his passing by his editorial team, and published by Theophania Publishing. Acknowledgements: In the spring and summer of 2007, Dr. Vladimir Orel worked simultaneously on Volumes Three and Four of this series, his Russian Etymological Dictionary, which he hoped to see published by December 2007. In late summer of that year, Dr. Orel suffered a massive stroke and passed away, leaving a son, two daughters, and many friends to mourn - and both volumes unfinished. Thanks to the superior skills of linguistic scholar Dr. Vitalij Shevoroshkin, Volume Three was quickly completed and published by the end of 2007. Volume Four was another story. Far less complete than its predecessor, the volume needed significant work to flesh out the entries begun by Dr. Orel. Again, Dr. Shevoroshkin's skill and time were invaluable in completing the text in view of his own projects and international teaching. But more assistance and time were required. Several other very busy scholars lent their hands and minds to the Russian Etymological Dictionary's completion. In particular, we would like to express our gratitude to A.Lehrman and B. Podolsky, without whose time and assistance this text would be a dusty, unfinished manuscript. For their assistance with this volume, we would also like to thank G. Barinova, V. Bla ek, Zh. Varbot, L. Kasatin, L. Krysin, and L. Kulikov. Thanks to the work of the above scholars, Volume Four has been belatedly but successfully completed within the framework of Dr. Orel's original plan and mindset.
