<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">Hi Ron,</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">A possible area for more
research! One problem with plant and animal names is that they readily transfer
to different species when people migrate - the American blackbird and robin are
quite different birds from the European ones they are named after. There
are countless species of fish around the world called "cod", many of
them quite unrelated (other than being fish of course).</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">So a name like
"lily" might well go back to, and beyond, Proto Indo-European, but
may have applied to a totally different flower.</p>

<b>Lilie:</b> Der Pflanzenname <i>(mhd. </i>lilje, <i>ahd. </i>lilia) wurde im
Mittelalter aus <i>lat. </i>lilia, dem <i>Plural </i>von <i>lat. </i>lilium<br>
"Lilie", entlehnt. Der Pflanzenname stammt aus einer östlichen
Mittelmeersprache. <br>
<br>
<b>Tulpe: </b>Der Name der im 16. Jh. aus dem Vorderen Orient nach Europa
eingeführten Blume taucht zuerst in Reiseberichten des 16. Jh.s als'Tulipa[n]
auf. Durch <i>niederl. </i>Vermittlung erscheint im 17. Jh. die Form 'Tulpe',
die später allgemein üblich wurde. Der aus dem <i>Türk. </i>stammende
Pflanzenname ist in fast allen europäischen Sprachen vertreten, vgl. z.B.
entsprechend <i>it. </i>tulipano, <i>frz. </i>tulipe (älter: tulipan), <i>span.
</i>tulipán, <i>port. </i>tulipa, <i>engl. </i>tulip, <i>niederl. </i>tulp[e], <i>schwed.</i>
tulpan u.a. <br>
Diese alle gehen letztlich auf <i>pers.-osmanisch </i>tülbant, tülbent
"Turban" zurück. Die Pflanze ist also (von Europäern) nach ihrem
turbanförmigen Blütenkelch benannt worden.<br>
