Persian Etymology

With Indo-European Cognates

Beschreibung

Persian Etymology shows the complex derivation of words in simple graphs like org charts. The charts also show the original or literal meanings of words that could help us understand the background of some of our present social trends and attitudes. For example, the earlier meanings of words for family members in Indo-European languages indicate that father was "protector" of the family, mother was "feeder" of the family and daughter was "milker" of the family. The roots of our words portray our human oneness, regardless of the languages we speak. The charts in this book show derivation of over 9400 Persian and other Iranian words along with 5800 cognates in Indo-European and 1400 cognates in Arabic, Hebrew, Turkish and other languages outside the Indo-European group.

Autor

Dr. Ali Nourai collected, studied and organized the etymological data of Persian words since the early 1990's. He started to save his data in charts like family trees or org charts where the derivatives of each root were shown as branches with words in Persian, English and their cognates in other languages. While researching and expanding his database, he published his charts in An Etymological Dictionary of Persian, English and other Indo-European Languages in 2013 and 2017 and later as Persian Etymology Charts in 2022. In order to simplify the use of this etymological data, he later reversed the direction of the family tree charts such that, instead of showing different words derived from each root, the charts now show different roots combined to make each word. This book, Persian Etymology - from Indo-European and other roots is a collection of these "derivation charts" showing the etymology of over 3400 Persian words.
