Roots
Because many reconstructed morphemes contain smaller submorphemic sound-meaning associations of the type thatBrandstetter (1916) called ‘roots’ (Wurzeln), I felt that a module collecting these elements into one place would be useful. The ‘Roots’ module of the ACD thus amounts to a continuation of the data set presented inBlust 1988. |
