Alexander Nikolaev's paper Greek Etymology in the 21st century presents a "detailed illustration of methodological and other flaws of [Beekes' Etymological Dictionary of Greek]."

Hi Joel,

This seems to want money & a sub. for more money.
Have I missed something?


TIA,

I'm not a fan of the site, but lots of people use it to share papers. It's free. Try scrolling down on the page.

Thanks for this. So, do the defects listed outweigh its usefulness otherwise?

Thank you, Joel!

So weird that this was not what popped up the first time??

Great heading, Joel, and great posting. Nikolaev (Sasha to his friends and colleagues) has literary interests and has done trailblazing and challenging work on the Homeric dialect among other things. He’s worth following. (He’s currently at BU, but will no doubt end up at Harvard or UCLA.)

Is Frisk considered reliable?

At the workshop I was surprised that the organizer, Stephen Hill, didn't seem to know Frisk.
