Warning! Laryngeals are omitted.
Pokorny does not contain any roots starting with *k^h, *kwh or *th.
There are too many roots starting with s (or s mobile) to display in a single file on some browsers (e.g. NTL internet TV). They are therefore split into three pages:
s + vowel
s + resonant
s + plosive
For convenience,
sw- and sy- are included
in both s+vowel and s+resonant.
They are also available on a single page s (67k).
Roots are normally shown in their e-grade.
The semivowels are denoted by 'v' and 'y'. 'w' denotes labialisation, as in the labiovelars.
The semivowels are denoted by 'u_' and 'i_'. 'k|w' denotes the labiovelar.
