    Message 1: Data on old Hermann Hirt article

    Subject: Data on old Hermann Hirt article


    Could someone please provide me with title, year, and pagination of an article by Hermann Hirt which appeared in _Indogermanische Forschungen_, vol. 17? I need this to order the item through interlibrary loan.

    The article included p. 281. The subject was apparently the Germanic verba pura, specifically (perhaps), the claim that the proto-Germanic form contained -j-.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,

    Looking for names of languages written at one point in varieties of the Greek alphabet (that is, they may contain unusual extra letters or variant letterforms). So far I have: Greek, Coptic, Old Nubian, Arabic (a little Byzantine Christian epigraphy).

    Thank you!
