Excerpt from A Comparative Grammar of the Indo-Germanic Languages: A Concise Exposition of the History of Sanskrit, Old Iranian (Avestic and Old Persian,) Old Armenian, Greek, Latin, Umbro-Samnitic, Old Irish, Gothic, Old High German, Lithuanian and Old Church Slavonic
In the treatment of Phonetics and Morphology in this work, so many words are cited along with parallels and words etymologically connected, that the book may be used to this extent in the study of etymology. TO this end the Index of Words has been compiled, including as it does more than mere grammatical forms. I would also observe that I have somewhat departed from the usual methods of such indices, because very few of those who use it will be equally at home in all the languages therein contained, and many may look for words out of a language whose paradigms are not familiar to them.
