ЭТИМОЛОГИЧЕСКИЙ СЛОВАРЬ СКИФСКОГО ЯЗЫКА

Abstract

Numerous language relicts of Thracian type were left in North-Pontic and in Transcaucasia by Scythians. These language relicts show features of genetic relationship, areal convergence and typological similarity to the Baltic and Slavic languages, more truly, their ancient ancestor types. The etymological dictionary of Scythian language should grasp all language relicts of a similar kind. The quantity of lexical entries (and header words) is about 700 units. From them about 50 are Scythian-Baltic-Slavonic isoglosses, about 150 are Scythian-Thracian isoglosses, about 300 are exclusively Scythian-Baltic and 200 Scythian-Slavic isoglosses. The structure of an entry is illustrated by a distributing material.
