Abstract A “Pre-Greek” substratum underlying the Indo-European Greek language has been suspected for a long time. There is no reason to suppose that there was only one “Pre-Greek” language; the region where Greek was and is spoken may have been multilingual, with languages of diverse origins. In the following study a limited number of etyma are examined that seem to bear witness to a widespread Euskaro-Caucasian language (or language family) associated with the spread of agriculture out of Anatolia. Greek words like ἀκαρί ‘mite’, μαστός ‘breast, teat’, β/μύσταξ ‘upper lip, mustache’, ξύλον ‘wood, timber’, and ψῡχή ‘breath’ are basic and not likely to be cultural loans, and could reflect genuine relics of a Euskaro-Caucasian Pre-Greek language. The examples discussed here are probably part of a much larger subset that a thorough study of Furnée’s and Beekes’ total list of “Pre-Greek” words might yield.

Abstract What was the distinction between the *márkos and *hιéǩuo- etyma for horse in Indo-European? It is argued that the distinction could be explained by a register based hierarchy that is likely to have existed in the proto-language. There is good evidence for the * hιéǩuo - reflex being used in Göttersprache like semantic associative networks. The * hιéǩuo - word is associated with the divine and appears in lexically identical poetic formulae and fixed locutions. On the basis of the multiple terms for horse in a number of the IE daughter languages, it is likely there was more than one term for horse in the IE period. A differentiation on the basis of register may have been a possibility, even at this early stage.

Abstract Following an overview of how the different languages attested in Anatolia during the Iron Age express patronymics, this paper explores the alleged interferences among the strategies found in these languages. Particular focus is placed on the possible interactions between Greek and the Anatolian languages in the use of genitive patronymics with or without a noun for ‘son’ or ‘daughter’ (following prior studies by Merlin and Pisaniello 2019 and Rutherford 2002) and on the claim of a Lydian origin for Greek patronymics in -ίδας / -ίδης (Dardano 2011), for which an internal Greek development is accepted after the inclusion of relevant data from Phrygian. All in all, very few local interactions are sustained as being valid.

Abstract The paper is the first in a planned two-part series, whose main goals are to conduct a general lexicostatistical survey of the Tuu, or South Khoisan, family of languages; to reconstruct a reliable approximation of the Swadesh wordlist for Proto-Tuu; and to clarify certain as of yet unresolved issues about the internal classification of Tuu languages. In the first part of the study, I survey the main data sources, identify the main obstacles to historical reconstruction in the Tuu domain, and make observations on some aspects of Tuu diachronic phonology. The main bulk of the paper is actually represented by the Appendix, in which I attempt to reconstruct the equivalents of the first 50 Swadesh list items for the three intermediate nodes of the Tuu family (Proto-!Ui, Proto-Nossob, and Proto-Taa).
