Talk:List of Proto-Indo-European roots/Old history talk

Hasn't this page been in progress for a very long time. Also, shouldn't there be examples given for major (old) IE languages, such as Greek, Latin, Gothic/Old Germanic, Old Church Slavonic, Sanskrit etc...

Why is this page using reconstructions with schwa? Szemerenyi's dead, and pretty much every reputable Indo-Europeist now accepts laryngeal theory. Crculver 00:55, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure of the point of this article. There are many thousands of these roots. Is the aim to be comprehensive? If not, what is the basis and purpose of selection? This reminds me of the article "English words of European origin" which was, quite rightly, deleted recently. --Doric Loon 1 July 2005 12:18 (UTC)
