Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Proto-Indo-European/reply (6)

The website indo-european.info is suspicious, indeed, since the definitions are made in Latin... Does the ablaut system signify that every ablaut "e" in a verb or a noun could be replaced by an "o"? As example "prep" → "prop"? And the roots that have more ablauts, they're irregular then. And with the suffixes change too. dn̥ǵʰwéh₂s → dn̥ǵʰuh₂éy

1. I was in the opinion that "prep" means "to catch sight of", but with the meaning "to appear" it'd use dative.

Só dʰǵʰm̥éney meg séneh₂s dn̥ǵʰwéh₂s ad nū ne prepe. To this human not much of the old language appeared

Anyways:

Só dʰǵʰémō meǵ séneh₂s dn̥ǵʰuh₂és ne wóyde. This human doesn't know much of the old language.

Also rather: Só dʰǵʰémō paw séneh₂s dn̥ǵʰuh₂és wóyde. This human knows a few of the old language. Actually, I'd prefer the second one.

2. We can do it so to keep it similar.

Só dʰǵʰémō sem séneh₂s dn̥ǵʰuh₂és wóyde. This human knows some of the old language.

3. So:

Só dʰǵʰémō mehl séneh₂s dn̥ǵʰuh₂és wóyde. This human knows much of the old language.

4. So then:

Só dʰǵʰémō (sm̥-)ǵʰéslo séneh₂s dn̥ǵʰuh₂és wóyde. This human knows very, very much of the old language.

Or also:

Só dʰǵʰémō swa meǵa h₂epo kʷos séneh₂s dn̥ǵʰuh₂és h₁ésti wóyde. This human knows the much of the old language that exists.

By the way, do you know websites which are eligible for to create an entry in Proto-Indo-European with? And if not, do you know a technique to change roots that they are eligible?
