AAAARGH!!!! The HTML got garbled! Let's try this again....
> Where can be found lists of PIE roots?<p>
There is one each of an English-PIE and a PIE-English dictionary based on
Bird's summary of Pokorny (about 1200 roots, but no extensions) in the Files
section of this Yahoo! Group.<p>

> The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (604 roots)<p>
Also useful, though not complete; it is "reformed" to show some laryngeals (but
I don't like how they merged palatals with velars). Only roots that are
pertinent to English words, including loans from other IE languages into
English, are included.<p>
A recent addition is a smaller but still useful list of Semitic roots -- but
it's flawed; it merges some of the sibilants that are preserved in Arabic.
But you can figure out the "real" root from the Arabic or South Arabian data
(as well as comparison of Hebrew and Aramaic, where for example Hebrew /�/ and
Aramaic /t/ point to a cognate found in Arabic <u>/t/</u>.<p>
Now this should look right.<p>
