(2013). Water Origins: the *alb- Root in the Pre-Latin Toponymy of Ancient Liguria. Acta Linguistica: Journal for Theoretical Linguistics, 7(1), 70-86. | Series/Report no.: | Acta Linguistica: Journal for Theoretical Linguistics | Abstract: | Paleo-Ligurian place names of the type Alba,Old European river names Albis and the like, as well as their ablautingforms Olb- (> Orb- in Romance Ligurian) do not reflectdirectly the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) adjective *albho- ʻwhiteʼ;rather, they all continue a Pre-PIE extended root *Hal-bh- ʻwaterʼ,cognate with Sumerian ḫalbia (> Akkadian ḫalpium ʻspring,well, water mass, water holeʼ). A further analysis of the same root *Hal-bh-leads to a comparison with the PIE root *Hal- ʻnourishʼ. PIE suffixedform *HwaH-r- ʻwaterʼ exhibits a similar diffusion. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/107351 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/40687 |
