Pokorny's etymological dictionary (IEW) is a landmark in Proto-Indo-European lexicography. After more than half a century it is a very useful tool of reference even though the Hittite and Tocharian citations are scanty and notwithstanding the author's refusal of accepting the laryngeal interpretation of Proto-Indo-European phonology. Part 1 of 3 of Volume I (published as a single volume in 1959, first issue in 1948). Volume II, published 10 years later (1969), contains the indexes.
