Description
An Amerind Etymological Dictionary is a revision, extension, and refinement of the lexical and grammatical evidence for the Amerind linguistic family that was initially offered in Greenberg (1987). The evidence is presented in terms of 909 etymologies arranged alphabetically according to the English gloss. Each etymology begins with the English gloss followed by a hypothetical phonetic form from which the individual Amerind forms are presumed to have derived. Within the body of each etymology, the evidence is arrayed in terms of the thirteen branches of Amerind. The complete classification of all Amerind languages considered is given in the back of the book.
