The Indo-European Lexicon project aims to preserve and document ancient languages by studying Proto-Indo-European (PIE) etymons and their reflexes in various Indo-European languages. The project presents PIE etymons, their semantic fields, and derived words (reflexes) found across different language families. Each reflex is annotated with its part-of-speech, grammatical features, a brief gloss, and source citation. The lexicon is a continuously developing resource, with ongoing updates and additions of etymons and reflexes. Users can navigate through etymons alphabetically and explore connections via language and semantic indices.
