Dritter Teil: Wortschatz Der Germanischen Spracheinheit by August Fick with Contributions by Hjalmar Falk, Entirely Revised by Alf Torp in 1909 Wörterbuch der Indogermanischen Sprachen Dritter Teil: Wortschatz der Germanischen Spracheinheit by August Fick with contributions by Hjalmar Falk, entirely revised by Alf Torp in 1909. Electronic version created by Sean Crist (*kurisuto*@*unagi.cis.upenn.edu*) enlarged and maintained by Dieter Studer (*dieterstuder*@*access.unizh.ch*). This document was typeset with TUSTEP from the base document “pgmc v1 5.xml” on 16 December 2006. 1 Notes on the electronic version The original text by Torp was scanned, processed with OCR equipment and corrected by Sean Crist ([email protected]). A single pass of hand-checking has been done on the entire document. This checking took around two years and was completed on 10 April 2003. He then re-checked the first 50 pages, finishing on 26 May 2003. The four levels of indentation, representing the hierarchical arrangment of the entries, were added to this PDF version on 9 June 2003. At the end of each entry there is a notation indicating where the entry is found in the original text. A notation like “25:3” means that the entry was the third entry beginning on page 25 of the original text. A notation like “102:11, 103:1” means that the entry started as the eleventh entry on page 102 and flowed over onto page 103. The Nachträge und Berichtigungen (addenda and errata) have been incorporated into the main text by Dieter Studer in May 2006. The deletions (〈nb0〉) and insertions (〈nb1〉) are denoted in the base document using XML tags, so that both the original and corrected versions of the text are recoverable. The authority for each modification is indicated as a tag attribute (“torp” in the case where Torp indicated the error in the errata section and “crist” in the cases where Sean identified the error). In this version the deletions are marked with single strike- through and the insertions are set ºbetween two small hooks». Word categories After a page/paragraph notation, there is sometimes an annotation of Sean Crist such as agriculture or religion. For teaching purposes, Sean made a rough classification of culturally significant words into convenient groupings. For example, after an in-class activity where the students reconstruct Proto-Germanic words related to warfare, he would read what the Roman ethnographer Tacitus has to say about Germanic warfare practices and then view a brief slide show on the archaeologically recovered Germanic weaponry. These annotations are included here since they might be of some use to others, but the choice of cultural categories and the judgments about individual words are subjective. agriculture animal Both agricultural and wild; includes fish body clothing Includes jewelry, textiles, hair/hair styling color death emotion food family health Words related to health and disease house Housing and construction land metal music number Numerals and other number-related words plants religion Religion and mythology sea Words related to the sea or ocean boating Words related to ships, shipping, boating sky Includes weather, astronomy law Words related to laws and social relationships technology Tools and other human-made items tree Types of trees warfare 2 Work in progress Work in progress which is not yet reflected in this PDF file includes: · In the original text, hyphens have two uses: to indicate that a long word has been broken and is continued to the next line and also to show the morphological boundaries within a word. This double usage creates an ambiguity: in some cases, a word is broken across two lines, but it is not always immediately obvious whether Torp would have included a hyphen within the word to indicate morphological structure even if the word had not been broken across two lines. In cases where the choice was clear to the editors, as in the case of modern German words, hyphens were included or removed as seen fit. Cases which remain to be resolved are indicated with a hyphen with a small question mark above it (as in mon–? slaga). · The following information has been added to the current text: {uncert.}: the preceding word is fairly legible, but is smudged or faded, causing some uncertainty as to whether the transcription given here is correct. This is a particular pro- blem with diacritics; it can be hard to distingish a caret from an acute accent, a short sign from a macron, diareses from overdot-plus-acute, etc. {error}: there is a certain error in the preceding word or in the punctuation immediately adjacent to the word. In some cases, the error has been corrected in this electronic version; in other cases, the error has merely been indicated but has not yet been corrected. (See above for the planned future strategy for denoting deletion of errors and insertion of corrections.) {quest.}: the preceding word has been represented here as in the original text, but Sean suspects that the original text contains an error. (An {error} is a certain error, but {quest.} is merely a possible error.) {pre-mod.}: the preceding word uses a pre-modern German spelling such as Meth. All of the tagged cases which require further work will be investigated by checking the pro- blematic words against other dictionaries. Abbreviations There is no table of abbreviations in the original printed text. Sean Crist produced the following partial list by creating a histogram over the words of the entire dictionary, sorted by frequency. Most of the highest-frequency items are abbreviations and the following items were culled from the top of the histogram. Low-frequency abbreviations have generally not yet been added to the list; please tell us of any that you find. As you can see from the list, Torp sometimes varies among more than one abbreviation for a particular word. Dieter Studer included most of the missing un-abbreviated German spellouts, but some of them remain somewhat mysterious. German German English English abbr. full abbr. full ä. ähnlich similar ä.

  • An Earthly Cosmology
    Forum on Religion and Ecology Indigenous Traditions and Ecology Annotated Bibliography Abram, David. Becoming Animal: An Earthly Cosmology. New York and Canada: Vintage Books, 2011. As the climate veers toward catastrophe, the innumerable losses cascading through the biosphere make vividly evident the need for a metamorphosis in our relation to the living land. For too long we’ve ignored the wild intelligence of our bodies, taking our primary truths from technologies that hold the living world at a distance. Abram’s writing subverts this distance, drawing readers ever closer to their animal senses in order to explore, from within, the elemental kinship between the human body and the breathing Earth. The shape-shifting of ravens, the erotic nature of gravity, the eloquence of thunder, the pleasures of being edible: all have their place in this book. --------. The Spell of the Sensuous: Perception and Language in a More-than-Human World. New York: Vintage, 1997. Abram argues that “we are human only in contact, and conviviality, with what is not human” (p. ix). He supports this premise with empirical information, sensorial experience, philosophical reflection, and the theoretical discipline of phenomenology and draws on Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy of perception as reciprocal exchange in order to illuminate the sensuous nature of language. Additionally, he explores how Western civilization has lost this perception and provides examples of cultures in which the “landscape of language” has not been forgotten. The environmental crisis is central to Abram’s purpose and despite his critique of the consequences of a written culture, he maintains the importance of literacy and encourages the release of its true potency.

  • THAT ALSO IS YOU Some Classics of Native Canadian Literature
    THAT ALSO IS YOU Some Classics of Native Canadian Literature Robert Bringhurst 0,"NCE UPON A TIME there was one small island, nothing more. The gods were clinging to it, clustered together like bladderkelp and bar- nacles, so thickly they could scarcely breathe. And the Raven, tied like a baby in his cradle, was floating on the sea. A voice called out to him, and he wriggled up from his martenskin blankets and looked around. In the midst of the endless flexing and rolling of the ocean, his cradle thumped and scraped against something solid. It was tall and thin and stretched as far as he could see below the waves that broke over the top of it. It was stone, and the stone was full of faces he had never seen outside his dreams. He clambered down it into deep water. In the wet twilight in front of him stood a house, and a voice came through the doorway, saying in the Haida language, Hala qách'i t'ak'in'gha:1 "Come inside, my grandson." Digha da gyasildaghasas danggha kiingagan : "From me you will borrow, to you I will give." In the house beneath the sea, he met an Old Man White as a Gull, who spoke to him again in Haida. But what the Old Man said to him next was something the Raven did not fully understand. Di hau dang iji. Waasing dang iji : "I am you," the Old Man said, "and that also is you." He gestured as he said this toward something slender, blue as air and green as beachgrass, that was moving around the carved screens at the rear of the house, like a heron choosing a fishing hole.

Basic reference guides, such as the Encyclopedia Britannica, tell us that there are ‘two main forms of canoe: that open from end to end (the modem recreational or sport Canadian canoe), propelled with a paddle having a single blade; and the kayak’ (2: 807). The sport of canoeing was popularised throughout Europe and North America during the mid-nineteenth century, primarily by a British lawyer named John MacGregor, who founded the Royal Canoe Club in London in 1865. Canoeing became an Olympic sport in 1936. Canoe racing is now designated into two categories: the Canadian canoe (nominated as Cl or C2 depending on the number of paddlers) and the kayak (K1 or K2), both of which are raced over a variety of distances.2 This journal article is available in Kunapipi: https://ro.uow.edu.au/kunapipi/vol23/iss1/18 114 Susan Knabe and Wendy Pearson SUSAN KNABE AND WENDY PEARSON Unpacking the Canoe: Alternative Perspectives on the Canoe as a National Symbol A Canadian is someone who knows how to make love in a canoe.

  • Lessons from Birds, Bones, and the Body
    rtizein: Arts and Teaching Journal LESSONS FROM BIRDS, BONES & THE BODY Abstract Alexandra Fidyk & Darlene St.Georges Written as a layered pictorial script, three images—Owl, Raven, and Hummingbird—beckoned the authors. Together, they explored neglected epistemologies in many disciplines within education, the arts and humanities to deepen their understanding of what it means to live in caring relation with an animated world. By tracking the Birds’ lineages and kinships through active imagination, amplification, and circumambulation, concealed patterns and associations reveal lessons for living more consciously with repressed and expressed feminine/an- drogyne energies. To be more conscious of both energies aids in the unfolding processes central to becoming, undoing, creativity, and pedagogy. Herein an ethical challenge arises: how might we honour the ancestors and communal life while attending the spirits that call us onward? . Bios Alexandra Fidyk, professor, Department of Secondary Education, University of Alberta, Canada, teaches curric- ulum studies, advanced research (hermeneutics, poetic inquiry, depth psychological inquiry), analytical psychol- ogy and trauma studies in relation to education. Her transdisciplinary participatory research focuses on youth and teacher mental health and wellness in school contexts. Her work continues to be shaped by her deep prairie roots. Contact: [email protected] Darlene St Georges, Ph.D, is a visual artist, poet, and assistant professor of art education, Faculty of Education, at the University of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. As a Métis woman much of her scholarship honours Indigenous worldviews.

  • Dissertação Apresentada Para Cumprimento Dos Requisitos Necessários À Obtenção Do Grau De Mestre Em Arqueologia, Realizada Sob a Orientação Científica Do Prof
    Dissertação apresentada para cumprimento dos requisitos necessários à obtenção do grau de Mestre em Arqueologia, realizada sob a orientação científica do Prof. Doutor Mário Varela Gomes. Haida Totem Poles: Reflections of a Society Kierstin Doreen Hamilton Abstract The Haida were a First Nations group located on the Northwest Coast of Canada. They were exceptional wood carvers that produced various types of works, the most monumental of which were their totem poles. This dissertation analyses 26 of these open architectural structures, each of which belonged to one of the following five types: frontal, mortuary, memorial, house post, or corner post. Of the representations found on poles, 28 different figures were identified. However, individual poles were found to contain between one and fourteen different figures with frontal poles generally featuring the most. The predominant figures on the inventoried poles proved to be birds, humans, and bears. An iconographic structure of a tripartite character was detected that reflects the religious ideology of the Haida population with birds being featured at the top of the poles, humans in the middle, and bears at the lowest point. It also suggests the possible transition from a hunter-gatherer economy to a food producing economy. KEYWORDS: Haida, totem poles, mythology, Northwest Coast, First Nations Resumo Os Haida foram um grupo das Primeiras Nações que habitaram a costa Noroeste do Canadá. Eram excepcionais escultores de madeira, tendo produzido variados tipos de artefactos, dos quais os totem poles eram os mais monumentais. Na presente dissertação são analisadas 26 dessas estruturas arquitectónicas de exterior, sendo que cada uma delas pertenceria a um dos seguintes cinco tipos: frontal, funerário, memorial, trave- mestra, ou postes de esquina.

  • The Pleiades As Openings, the Milky Way As the Path of Birds, and the Girl on the Moon: Cultural Links Across Northern Eurasia
    THE PLEIADES AS OPENINGS, THE MILKY WAY AS THE PATH OF BIRDS, AND THE GIRL ON THE MOON: CULTURAL LINKS ACROSS NORTHERN EURASIA Yuri Berezkin Abstract:The Baltic-Finnish and the Baltic (Latvian and Lithuanian) cosmo- nyms mostly coincide while the Baltic and Slavic cosmonymic patterns are different. The Pleiades in the Eastern Baltic are ‘a sieve’, the Milky Way is ‘the path of migratory birds’ and a girl holding water pails is seen on the Moon. Across most of Central, Western and Southern Europe the Pleiades are ‘a hen with its chicken’, the Milky Way and the lunar spots have other (and different) interpretations. The Eastern Baltic pattern is identical with the Middle Volga one where it is widespread among both Finnish-Permian and Turkic groups and probably relates back to the (Proto-Baltic?) culture of the Iron Age. However, parallels for the cosmonyms in question are found across most of Northern Eurasia and find corresponding similarities in some parts of North America. ‘Water-carrier on the Moon’ is the most widespread of these motifs being known in Japan and Polynesia. In Eurasia, the Northern Samoyeds noticeably lack all three images. The initial emergence of at least some of the cosmonyms under discussion in the Terminal Pleistocene of northern East Asia and their further dissemination towards the West, down to the Baltics, is a hypothesis to be checked. Key words: Asian-American cosmonymic links, folk astronomy, lunar spots, prehistory of Northern Eurasia, the Milky Way, the Pleiades Seven objects in the night sky attracted attention in Eurasian cultures outside the Tropical Zone.
