Synopsis
Hardbound. Although during the last sixty years philology has attained a high degree of development, looking at the literature available, Etymology appears only to have reached the level of philology at the turn of the century. This dictionary is the first major work of its kind in the 20th century, and as such, embodies the findings of modern philological scholarship. For example, full reference is made to Tocharian, the extinct language rediscovered at the end of the Nineteenth Century which often provides the key to the important transition form between the Old-Indian and the Indo-European group of languages to which English belongs. Several hundred words previously defined as being of unknown etymology are fully analyzed. The etymology of words of Semitic origin in the English language is given, the transliteration of Semitic words is based on a concept which renders exactly every consonant, vowel and diacritical sign. Hybrids are not only referred, Although during the years philology has attained a high degree of development Etymology appears only to have reached the level of philology at the turn of the century. This dictionary embodies the findings of modern philological scholarship. It also provides the etymologies of proper and mythological names.

    I have hunted this book forever! The book arrived in beautiful condition and was carefully packed. The seller negotiated an offer for a very expensive book. I was hoping the description was accurate and it was beyond.

    Perfect transaction, seller shipped quickly and I was actually really impressed with their packaging of the book. The book was placed in a protective mailer which was placed inside another slightly larger protective mailer which together definitely kept it in better condition through the shipping. Thanks very much!
