English translation of Grundriß that you mentioned is a translation
of which revision - first or second? As of Pokorny, I hopefully have
its essence that I recently uploaded to files section of CYBALIST at
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/cybalist/files/PIE_roots/ under
name pokorny.htm. Yes, I want a summa indoeuropaea, because of these
facts:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Adamic_language/archive1
placed in two sections and marked with bold titles. As for German
Grundriß, it is consisted from:
First edition
Brugmann
vol. I: Phonology (1886)
vol. II: Noun (1888), Numerals and pronouns, Verb (1892)
Indices (1893)
Delbrück
vol. III: Syntax, part I (1893)
vol. IV: Syntax, part II (1897)
vol. V: Syntax, part III (1900)
extensively revised second edition:
Brugmann
vol. I: (1897)
vol. II.1: (1906)
vol. II.2: (1911)
vol. II.3: (1916)
Please tell me which volumes of the second german edition are in
possession of your university's library? And it is only this set of
volumes:
Brugmann
vol. I: (1897)
vol. II.1: (1906)
vol. II.2: (1911)
vol. II.3: (1916)
or the same set wit added these volumes:
Delbrück
vol. III: Syntax, part I (1893)
vol. IV: Syntax, part II (1897)
vol. V: Syntax, part III (1900)
And how many pages are approximately in each volume?
