Deutsch = Indogermanisch

This is the English version of Academia Prisca's automatic Proto-Indo-European dictionary-translator.

This translator is based on the Late Proto-Indo-European Etymological Lexicon by Fernando López-Menchero:

• The work contains correct usage of Late Proto-Indo-European words - with emphasis on North-West Indo-European lexicon -, their proper meaning, derivatives in early Indo-European dialects, and laryngeal roots.
• You can download all the information in one Excel or PDF file, to browse all the information offline.

Please read the following instructions:

1. To find phrasal verbs or compound words, look for them with hyphens. For example, "be-afraid", not "be afraid".To exploit the potential of this dictionary-translator software, you can look up multiple words (e.g. synonyms) at the same time.
2. Most nouns and verbs are (still) not inflected - Look for the most simple expressions first. For example, "I go house", instead of "I went home". Then find the correct inflection of "go" (1st person, past tense) and "house" (accusative):
• For Late Proto-Indo-European verb conjugation, please refer to Flexie: A conjugator of Modern Indo-European verbs by Fernando López-Menchero.
• For nominal declension, refer to the latest version of A Grammar of Modern Indo-European.
• For both nominal and verbal use in sentences, refer to A Tentative Syntax of Modern Indo-European.
3. You can further look up the Indo-European words in the Latin version (for precision of English meanings) and machine translations into the German version. Pokorny's Indo-European Etymological Dictionary is also available for reference as dictionary-translator.
