For most Ugaritic lexical items a Semitic etymology can be suggested or established, but those of non-Semitic origin are of particular interest and not unexpectedly , a higb proportion of them are Hurrian. If it were still in current use, the expression connecting coal and Newcastle would apply to this short survey dedicated to Professor Manfried Dietrich who (together with Professor Oswald Loretz) has contributed immensely to Ugaritic and especially to Hurrian studies over many years. It will show how much he, his immediate colleagues and other scholars in the field have extended our knowledge of the Ugaritic lexicon.

This etymological digest contains new etymologies for several Greek words: ἀφυσγετός ‘debris’ (< *n̥-bʰugsk̑eto- ‘unusable’, Ved. bhunákti, Lat. fungor), ἕστωρ ‘yoke fastening’ (< *u̯edʰ-tor- ‘one that ties together’, Goth. gawidan, Welsh gwedd), κόπις ‘glib talker’ (< *ḱopi-, Ved. śap- ‘to curse’), κρημνός ‘steep incline’ (Slavic *stromъ / *strьmъ ‘steep’), πηρός ‘infirm, lame’ (Luw. paḫḫit ‘beater’), χρόνος ‘(period of) time’ (*g̑ʰron-o- ← *g̑ʰ(r̥)ron- ‘(early/past) time’, Hitt. karū, Luw. ruwan ‘formerly’, Slavic *zarja ‘dawn’, Old Norse grýjandi ‘dawn’) and some others.
Tocharian and Indo-European Studies , 2015
Tocharian B pres. prantsäṃ, impf. präntsitär and parsnān, impf. parsnoṃ are generally taken to be variant formations of a single verb /pərs(a)-/ ‘sprinkle’. It is argued that these forms are to be separated formally and semantically: the latter mean ‘sprinkle’, are used of water or similar liquids, and are built to an a-root /pərsa-/, while the former mean ‘spatter, splatter’, are used of viscous liquids and semisolids, and belong to a Class VII nasal-in xed present to the non-a-root /pərts-/. TB /pərts-/ in turn continues PIE *perd-, whose original meaning was something like ‘explode, sp(l)atter, pop’, but shifted to ‘fart’ in the Inner IE languages. This root formed a root aorist (cf. Gr. ἀπ-, κατ-έπαρδoν) and a nasal present, which survives only in Tocharian; the Inner IE languages replaced the nasal present with simple thematic *pérd-e/o- (> Gr. πέρδομαι, OIA pardate, OE feortan*).

Back-to-back combination of the two goats may signify the use of cire perdue (lost wax) technique of metal casting as a mirror image created in wax and replicated in metal as the molten metal is poured into the sculptured wax model pasted with river-bed fine clay. Thus,, dul milakkhu sippi constitutes an Indus Script hypertext to signify 'copper casting sculptor'. If there is one set of hieroglyphs which occurs with high frequency on both Neast East artifacts of cylinder seals and other objects and on Indus script corpora of inscriptions, it is the ‘antelope’ set. Antelope occurs in 91 even-toed ungulate species indigenous to various regions in Africa, Eurasia including India. Steatite Dilmun Seal from Saar (Crawford 2001,58) Dilmun seal from Barbar; six heads of antelope radiating from a circle; similar to animal protomes in Failaka, Anatolia and Indus. Obverse of the seal shows four dotted circles.
