We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have

Author under contract to write popular nonfiction book regarding oak wood,
trees, and forests seeks interviews with linguists having expertise in
Indo-European languages. Briefly put, I am seeking to understand the evolution
of the words 'oak', 'tree', 'truth', 'door' and their cognates with as much
cultural context as possible.

Any help will be very much appreciated and duly acknowledged.
