From larryt at cogs.susx.ac.uk Tue May 2 15:45:28 2000 From: larryt at cogs.susx.ac.uk (Larry Trask) Date: Tue, 2 May 2000 11:45:28 EDT Subject: Sum: Basque Message-ID: ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- About a month ago I posted a query about a possible Romance source for Basque ~ (and several other variants) 'tools', 'tool set', 'toolkit'. Nothing has ever been established about the origin of this word. It is first recorded in 1627 (early by Basque standards), in the French Basque writer Etxeberri of Ziburu, and it is mainly recorded since then on the French side, though it is also attested on the Spanish side. The only etymology ever proposed is a compound of native 'work' and 'arm'. But this is phonologically terrible and semantically unpersuasive. The word just does not look native, but no obvious Romance source presents itself -- hence my query. I received responses from six people. These, while not decisive, were very helpful, and I think we're probably closing in on a good Romance source. I mentioned Castilian 'the knife'. Roger Wright points out that the Old Castilian pronunciation of this would not be a phonologically bad source at all -- though the singular sense of the Castilian word sits awkwardly with the collective sense of the Basque word. Then again, Lyle Campbell notes that the Castilian word is also recorded as labeling one of the components of a crossbow, so perhaps we shouldn't confine ourselves to the sense of 'knife'. In fact, cognates of the Castilian word are fairly widely recorded in Ibero-Romance, according to Corominas, though usually in the sense of 'pocketknife' or 'razor', all of these deriving from Latin , or perhaps better from an unrecorded variant *, 'small knife', with a diminutive suffix. But Thomas Field has tracked down a possible Occitan source. This is what I was hoping for, since the distribution of the word in Basque is most consistent with an Occitan origin, if the word is borrowed. He reports a hapax , glossed as 'knife', in Old Bearnese, in the Judyats de la Cort de Morlaas, one of the texts of the fors of Bearn. The word is used for a knife used in killing a man, suggesting perhaps something larger and more businesslike than a pocketknife. This appears to be a back-formation, with the diminutive suffix removed. Now, something like * would be a phonologically excellent source for the Basque word. Oddly, though, Field reports that the editors of the dictionary listing it give the word as masculine, even though the text containing it gives no clue as to its gender. And, since the Latin source is feminine, we might have expected this word to be feminine. Field adds another form, , in the FEW, listed as a feminine noun, and glossed as 'dagger', from a 1345 document in Dax. And Stefan Georg finds a Bearnese in Meyer-Lübke (3rd ed., 1935), glossed as 'shaving knife', but provided with no source. Oddly, no such forms as these appear to be attested anywhere in Occitan except in the region bordering the Basque Country. Not sure just what all this adds up to, but a plural of one of these truncated Occitan words, with the article incorporated, looks an excellent source on the phonological side. And taking over a Romance plural as a Basque collective seems reasonable enough. Of course, the semantics is still awkward, unless there are good reasons -- unknown to me -- for taking knives as prototypical tools. Certainly beats the hell out of *'work-hand', anyway. My thanks to Lyle Campbell, Thomas Field, Stefan Georg, Brian Mott, Max Wheeler, and Roger Wright.

Based on a large amount of new descriptive data, as well as on published sources, the present work attempts to demonstrate the closer genetic relationship between a subgroup of three Cariban languages, Akuriys, Tiriys and Karihona, the last two of which were considered to belong to very distant branches of the family in a still widely cited classification (Durbin 1977). This demonstration takes the form of a reconstruction of the main aspects of the segmental phonology and inflectional morphology (person, number, evidentiality, tense/aspect/mood) of the proto-language, which the author proposes to call Proto-Taranoan. A preliminary etymological dictionary, as well as some remarks on the history of the speakers, is also included. ISBN 3 89586 534 6. LINCOM Studies in Native American Linguistics 30. Ca. 300 pp. Ca.

It is a modern Indo-European language spoken as a first or second language by almost a half billion people in India, as well as other parts of Asia, Africa, the Americas, Europe, and Oceania. This book's primary aim is to describe Hindi sounds and their pattern. Little previous knowledge of phonology is assumed. The book is comprehensive and detailed. Traditional and current concepts and technical terms are explained. The various chapters discusse the historical and sociological background of Hindi, the nature of Hindi lexicon both native and borrowed, the conventions of the Devanagari symbols (since in the text examples are also transcribed in the Devanagari), the articulation of Hindi sounds and their characterization in terms of distinctive features, the concept of phonemes, the significant allophones of Hindi, the natural classes of Hindi sounds, Hindi syllables and their structure, and Hindi stress. The author, a native speaker of Hindi, is professor of linguistics at Georgetown University. His has published extensively in the areas of anthropology, linguistics, and literature. ISBN 3895869740.

Nothing has ever been established about the origin of this word. It is first recorded in 1627 (early by Basque standards), in the French Basque writer Etxeberri of Ziburu, and it is mainly recorded since then on the French side, though it is also attested on the Spanish side. The only etymology ever proposed is a compound of native 'work' and 'arm'. But this is phonologically terrible and semantically unpersuasive. The word just does not look native, but no obvious Romance source presents itself -- hence my query. I received responses from six people. These, while not decisive, were very helpful, and I think we're probably closing in on a good Romance source. I mentioned Castilian 'the knife'. Roger Wright points out that the Old Castilian pronunciation of this would not be a phonologically bad source at all -- though the singular sense of the Castilian word sits awkwardly with the collective sense of the Basque word. Then again, Lyle Campbell notes that the Castilian word is also recorded as labeling one of the components of a crossbow, so perhaps we shouldn't confine ourselves to the sense of 'knife'. In fact, cognates of the Castilian word are fairly widely recorded in Ibero-Romance, according to Corominas, though usually in the sense of 'pocketknife' or 'razor', all of these deriving from Latin , or perhaps better from an unrecorded variant *, 'small knife', with a diminutive suffix. But Thomas Field has tracked down a possible Occitan source. This is what I was hoping for, since the distribution of the word in Basque is most consistent with an Occitan origin, if the word is borrowed. He reports a hapax , glossed as 'knife', in Old Bearnese, in the Judyats de la Cort de Morlaas, one of the texts of the fors of Bearn. The word is used for a knife used in killing a man, suggesting perhaps something larger and more businesslike than a pocketknife. This appears to be a back-formation, with the diminutive suffix removed. Now, something like * would be a phonologically excellent source for the Basque word. Oddly, though, Field reports that the editors of the dictionary listing it give the word as masculine, even though the text containing it gives no clue as to its gender. And, since the Latin source is feminine, we might have expected this word to be feminine. Field adds another form, , in the FEW, listed as a feminine noun, and glossed as 'dagger', from a 1345 document in Dax. And Stefan Georg finds a Bearnese in Meyer-L?bke (3rd ed., 1935), glossed as 'shaving knife', but provided with no source. Oddly, no such forms as these appear to be attested anywhere in Occitan except in the region bordering the Basque Country. Not sure just what all this adds up to, but a plural of one of these truncated Occitan words, with the article incorporated, looks an excellent source on the phonological side. And taking over a Romance plural as a Basque collective seems reasonable enough. Of course, the semantics is still awkward, unless there are good reasons -- unknown to me -- for taking knives as prototypical tools. Certainly beats the hell out of *'work-hand', anyway. My thanks to Lyle Campbell, Thomas Field, Stefan Georg, Brian Mott, Max Wheeler, and Roger Wright.

Based on a large amount of new descriptive data, as well as on published sources, the present work attempts to demonstrate the closer genetic relationship between a subgroup of three Cariban languages, Akuriys, Tiriys and Karihona, the last two of which were considered to belong to very distant branches of the family in a still widely cited classification (Durbin 1977). This demonstration takes the form of a reconstruction of the main aspects of the segmental phonology and inflectional morphology (person, number, evidentiality, tense/aspect/mood) of the proto-language, which the author proposes to call Proto-Taranoan. A preliminary etymological dictionary, as well as some remarks on the history of the speakers, is also included. ISBN 3 89586 534 6. LINCOM Studies in Native American Linguistics 30. Ca. 300 pp. Ca.

It is a modern Indo-European language spoken as a first or second language by almost a half billion people in India, as well as other parts of Asia, Africa, the Americas, Europe, and Oceania. This book's primary aim is to describe Hindi sounds and their pattern. Little previous knowledge of phonology is assumed. The book is comprehensive and detailed. Traditional and current concepts and technical terms are explained. The various chapters discusse the historical and sociological background of Hindi, the nature of Hindi lexicon both native and borrowed, the conventions of the Devanagari symbols (since in the text examples are also transcribed in the Devanagari), the articulation of Hindi sounds and their characterization in terms of distinctive features, the concept of phonemes, the significant allophones of Hindi, the natural classes of Hindi sounds, Hindi syllables and their structure, and Hindi stress. The author, a native speaker of Hindi, is professor of linguistics at Georgetown University. His has published extensively in the areas of anthropology, linguistics, and literature. ISBN 3895869740.
