Abstract:

This dictionary is an electronic version of the "Dictionary and
Thesaurus of Tocharian A," by Gerd Carling and Georges-Jean Pinault
(Harrassowitz, 2023). The resource aims to include reference to all
lexemes and their occurrences in attested Tocharian A manuscripts.
Dictionary lemmas include information about translation, word class,
parallels in Tocharian B, Sanskrit, and Uighur, reference to earlier
interpretations, syntax, phraseology, and inventory of paradigms,
forms, and occurrences. Etymologies trace lexemes back to Common
Tocharian, including derivations and loans from adjacent languages,
such as Indo-Aryan (Sanskrit and Middle Indic), Iranian, Chinese, or
Turkic languages.
The foundation of the dictionary is Pavel Poucha "Thesaurus Linguae
Tocharicae Dialecti A" (Prague, 1955), which has been revised and
extended by later resources and literature. Further, the completion of
the dictionary relies on the edition of Tocharian A texts in the CEToM
database, while including revisions of readings and interpretations
made in the meantime.
