Etymology

Hi @Mnemosientje! I hope you're doing well. I can't edit this etymology myself, as I've been quite busy, but I'll send you some useful stuff here.

Lehmann explains "only nom pl m -kai E 2.3 gloss to barna hatize τέκνα ὀργῆς children of warth" and mentions Uhlenbeck 1905 BGDSL 30:319 "Meaning and etymology uncertain" and L Meyer 1869:278 that proposed relationship with Skt vṛṇákti turn, with loss of w-, Gk ἓργειν, both extensions of PIE wer- turn, bend P 1959:1152-54, 1168; approved by K Johansson 1891 BGDSL 15:236-36. Grienberger 1900:230 reconstructed *uz-wrugks unsettled, relating this to Gk ῥέμβω roam about, also from PIE wer-, with extension wremb-, P 1959:1153; cf Wood 1901 MLN 16:311." and adds "Neither proposal cogent".

@Lëtzelúcia: Thanks, I hadn't checked Lehmann yet myself and took me a while to get around to this. But I have now added these theories and Lehmann's view to the entry. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 11:23, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! If you need Lehmann's PDF or anything, get in touch. Lëtzelúcia (talk) 09:52, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

@Lëtzelúcia: Haha thanks for the offer -- but I actually own it as a printed book, and have a pdf as well :D Sometimes I'm just lazy, hence why I hadn't gotten around to it yet. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 11:40, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
