The present paper deals with the etymology of the Latin adjective celeber, -bris, -bre 'frequented; famed'. First, it is investigated whether Very Old Latin *-l- had a velar or non-velar articulation in the relevant context / _ e, and it is concluded that the latter option is more likely. Subsequently, Latin celeber is traced back to Pre-Proto-Italic *kelh1-es-ro- 'having bustle', an external derivative of the s-stem *kélh1-o/es- 'push(ing); bustle' belonging to the PIE root *kelh1- 'push, urge'. Finally, it is argued that the Latin adjective celer, -is, -e 'fast' continues Pre-Proto-Italic *k(e)lh1-és- / *k(e)lh1-s-́ 'having push', an internal derivative of the same PIE s-stem *kélh1-o/es- 'push(ing); bustle'. Thus, Latin celeber 'frequented; famed' and celer 'fast' are not only etymologically related, but also morphologically closely associated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, it is argued that the principle of monoinflection governing the distribution of strong and weak adjective inflection in the New High German noun phrase (NP) definitively became established in the 18th century. Empirical evidence for this assumption is provided by the findings of three corpus studies based on the historical corpus ›Deutsches Textarchiv‹ (German Text Archive). Focusing on three different constructional types within the NP, the evolving distribution of strong and weak adjective inflection is studied for the period from 1600 to 1900. Based on the findings of the three corpus studies, further structural tendencies in the (re)organization of the New High German NP and their interaction with the principle of monoinflection are discussed.

The paper argues that the Proto-Germanic adjective *kwikwa- 'alive' is not related to PIE *gih3o-, as is usually assumed, but represents a reduplicated formation based on PIE *geh2- 'take a step, walk', i.e. *gi-gh2ó- 'walking' which was used metonymically in the meaning 'alive'. A similar form may underly Vedic jágat- 'world', originally 'all that moves', if this is derived from *ge-gh2ét- of the type Skt. sravát- 'stream' (: srávati 'flows'). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this contribution I propose to etymologically connect Vedic yóni- 'safe place; bed, nest; womb' and Avestan yaona- 'safe place' with Greek εὐνή 'bed; lair' as well as Old Irish úam 'cave; lair, den'. I derive these words from a PIE formation *(H)i̯eumn- V- meaning 'nest, private place' and derived from the root *(H)i̯eu- 'to separate, set apart' (Vedic pres. yuyóti). Furthermore, it is argued that the Greek adjective εὖνις 'bereft' as well as the noun ὑμήν 'membrane' derive from the same root. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
