Hi Klaus
This question comes up from time to time. There are several books much more
up to date. Meillet inevitably omits the insights and consensus that have
developed since his time. You are far better off with a book Beekes
(Comparative IE linguistics), Baldi (An introduction to the IElanguages) or
Szemerenyi (introduction to IE linguistics). The last one is the most
important. Although it draws unpopular conclusions, it is still an
excellent source of reliable information.
