Re: Beekes.

Hi,

It never hurts to read new descriptions of something. I would recomend both,
along with Brugmann ; ) and the chapter about PIE on Ringe's 'From PIE to
Proto-Germanic'. There are more books, but I suppose that beyond those we
have just articles left.

The last two volumes of the English translation of Brugmann are to be found
on archive.org... verbs and indices / indexes. All of Pokorny's dictionary
is there too, and his grammar of Old Irish. On Google books there is the
really early Franz Bopp's book, in German and translated to English, but
this one is more interesting to see how it all started. There is the
www.ieed.nl too.

Anyway, I'm chasing good grammars of Old Church Slavonic and Lithuanian. Any
suggestions?

Edgard, who three months before his the third conlanging year finally
decided his PIE conlang orthography ; ))).
