The dictionary is organized so that an averagelly educated person can understand an etymology of a word/s -- it was imagined as a popular etymological dictionary. (F.e., an article has no any of bibliographical data.) But there are many data -- Slavic, IE, also Nostratic and non-Nostratic. 

F.e., in the article zze`na there are Slavic examples, IE (including, f.e., Hitt., Luw., Lyd., also new Indo-Aryan, new Iranian), Nostratic (with some of examples from Illich-Svitych's OS I), SC *qwEnV (with Yen. *Vm- or khVm-, with Ket, Yugan, Arin, Pumpokol examples; NC *q(w)aEnV, with EC..., Proto-Dagh. *qhVmV in Proto-Lezgin ..., with examples from Archi, Tabassaran, Arin, Kryz, Laki); I gave also non-Nostratic examples (after M. Ruhlen's "Nostratic-Amerind cognates": Amerind *, Tonkawa, Seri, Yokuts, Tsimshian, Tequistlatec, Yuracare, Guahibo). 

It can give you a kind of today's picture of my view on the Nostratic macrofamily.
