Autorenporträt

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.
