Summary Annotation "This book presents a new attempt to reconstruct the Proto-Germanic vocabulary as attested in ancient and modern Germanic languages and projected to the Proto-Germanic level. A valuable contribution to our knowledge about the Proto-Germanic language, the volume provides its readers - linguists, historians, anthropologists, archaeologists - with knowledge about the Proto-Germanic people and a picture of their everyday life. What did they feel and what did they believe? What food they preferred? What vehicles did they drive? What houses did they build? The lost culture and tradition of the Germanic ancestors speaks to us from the pages of this dictionary, through the words that these ancient people used. It is the first attempt to reconstruct the Proto-Germanic lexicon after the work of Falk and Torp in the beginning of the twentieth century."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
