Etymological Dictionary of the Baltic Inherited Lexicon Online

Edited by: Rick Derksen

Like its Slavic counterpart (2008), the Etymological Dictionary of the Baltic Inherited Lexicon Online aims at combining recent insights from comparative Indo-European linguistics with modern Balto-Slavic accentology. While the Lithuanian lexicon serves as a starting-point, the dictionary contains a number of etyma that are unique to Latvian or Old Prussian. Unlike in most other Baltic etymological studies, both Latvian and Lithuanian accentual data feature prominently. The author’s renewed attempt to reconstruct part of the Balto-Slavic lexicon has resulted in numerous additions and corrections.
