The Treatment of Indo-European in Armenian

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  15 March 2011

Extract

My lists of examples are taken mainly from Hübschmann's Armenische Grammatik, the lists in which were practically exhaustive in the state of knowledge at the time at which they were composed. Additional examples I have taken from Meillet, whose article in the Mémoires de la Société de Linguistiqtie for 1894 deals with this very problem. His Esquisse de la Grammaire de l'Arménien Classique, produced in 1903, also provides interesting information. What examples are not derived from these sources I have taken from Brugmann's Grundriss, and from certain other scattered articles, references to which appear as they are cited. To the three scholars mentioned the debt of any student of this difficult language is overwhelming.
