Excerpt: ... and I agreed that we should each publish our work, knowing nothing of the other's except that we both refer yXboGGa to a base fiXinnv 'to look gloating ': that is, 'panting,' 3. 'greedy' yXix6poi (?) or yXix+6x-po(cf. Lat. poscoporc-sco: proc-us but see Brug. 'Gr.' ii, §1030). Hesychius furnishes us with still another member of this group yXixoi-peiSoXoi xal yXi6xpoijoiSt noXvnpdyftoov,irepiepyoi 'busybody ' the 'man o' the tongue.' How does this root appear in Sanskrit? Besides the y' lihrih is a root laid down by Whitney as /jeh, but probably to be laid down as Vjih. Whitney defines y/jeh as 'loll,' 'pant'; jihmd-of the 'darting ' of the eye is correspondent to Xixftdoo of the 'darting ' of the tongue. How do we explain the forms jihv'a 'tongue,' /jeh 'pant,' jihmd 'darting'? They should appear as jlih-.

But another explanation is this, jlihva was felt to be in relation to 1/hva 'call,' and became jihv'a by popular etymology as a reduplication of y/hvi. This occurred in the Indo-Iranian period, whence Avestan hizva: jihmd-and /jeh followed the lead ofjihva-. Lat. ligula 'skimmer, spoon' got its name perhaps from its tongue-shape. So in Sk. jnhii 'tongue, ' 'flame-tongue.' 'ladle ' we are to see a popular association with 1/hu sacrifice. Juhii was specifically the 'sacrifice ladle'; German L'dffel is perhaps to be connected with Leber, cf. infra. The Lat. word lingua 'tongue' we must now explain out of glingua. What becomes then of the form dingua reported as Old Latin? It is a sometime affection from Lat. dens 'tooth.' The tongue and teeth are certainly contiguous parts of the body. I accept very...
