Subject: Comparative dictionaries : summary

I received relatively few answers to my query on etymological/comparative
 dictionaries. Nevertheless, several people asked me to broadcast the
 references I collected. Below are listed the references I received,
 arranged by language families. I provide a second list consisting of the
 references which I found by myself; references are not always complete (or
 even correct, as I haven't been able to directly check the references on
 the books), so any contribution in that direction will be helpful. Any new
 suggestion will also be appreciated, since the lists given here are far
 from being complete.
I whish to thank the following people for helping me to compile that list:
Tim Pulju

Steve Seegmiller
Ron Cosper
John  Dienhart
