{"product_id":"a-first-etymological-dictionary-of-gianfranco-forni-9781499595468","title":"A First Etymological Dictionary of Basque as an Indo-European Language: Basque Native, Basic Lexicon","description":"In 2013, a detailed research paper by Gianfranco Forni appeared in The Journal of Indo-European Studies, describing a breakthrough finding: the Basque language, whose origins had so far remained obscure, actually is an Indo-European language. The main reason why this fact had escaped previous researchers is that Basque underwent a long chain of phonetic changes, which obscured its ultimate origin.This dictionary is designed to make the origin of Basque easy to understand for a wider audience. The main sound laws linking Proto-Indo-European to Basque are explained in a simple, terse way. Each etymology of Basque basic, native lexicon is accompanied by intermediate reconstructions, an extensive list of cognates, and detailed references to sources. Several indices make this dictionary easy to use as a reference tool.If you are eager to understand how the mystery of the origins of Basque can now be unraveled, this dictionary will guide you through this exciting discovery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gianfranco Forni\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1499595468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781499595468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Gianfranco Forni","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44124208201983,"sku":"9781499595468","price":25.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ea10f519-9efa-484a-8096-4fc9adaf5ffd.jpg?v=1687435384","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-first-etymological-dictionary-of-gianfranco-forni-9781499595468","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
