In these minor revisions,

a. Non-relevant notes are now footnotes, to facilitate the reading of the main sections.

b. Footnotes are left for the end of the section.

c. More internal hyperlinks are added, to facilitate a quick vocabulary reference.

Still to improve are styles (especially the footnotes) and bookmarks.

For more on this, see Modern Indo-European Grammar v.2.x.

Proto-Indo-European Etymological Dictionary (by J.Pokorny) v. 1.01

It includes minor revisions of Version 1.0, including

  • Change from original .doc document into Open Document .odt (and consequently a drastic decrease in file size
  • Page numbers are also reformed, as Microsoft Word appear to crash with more than 377 pages (?)
  • The PDF is made with Open Office (v.2.2) and OpenSuSe, as Windows doesn’t seem to deal well, neither with Acrobt nor with Office or Open Office PDF converters – again, drastic decrease in File Size thanks to OpenOffice.
  • HTML version is not supported anymore, as it is better for our servers (and also for the users) to build up a community based on ebooks, instead of online – thus unstable – resources.

Modern Indo-European Grammar, 2nd Ed., Rev. 2.11

In this minor revision, all special Latin endings in -tas, -tatis, “-ty” in English, are modified and made “more Indo-European”, so to speak, and left as simply -ta, i.e., MIE Third or a-Declension.

Thus, for example, Uniuersitas, Uniuersitatis, “University”, is changed from older MIE Oiniwersitats (i.e. root in -t) to simply MIE Oiniwersita.
