Dear Profs. Lyne and Elliot,

This is a really helpful suggestion! Thank you for sharing the link to the English translation, Prof. Elliot. I also found the PDF of an earlier edition of the translation that was published in 1973 as the Miami Linguistics Series No. 12.

Thanks and regards,
Himanshu

Dear Lyne,

An English translation is available at archive.org : https://archive.org/details/dictionary-of-indo-european-concepts-and-society/page/n1/mode/1up
I hope it includes both of the original French language edition.

I must strenuously object to characterizing French and other non-English European original language publications as a recurring problem or as unfortunate. 😀

Best wishes,

Elliot

Dear Himanshu,

About comparative grammar of Indo-European languages, since you are curious about it, it occurred to me that you might enjoy reading a remarkable essay by Emile Benveniste,Le Vocabulaire des Institutions Indo-Européennes, Paris, Editions de minuit, 1969 (2 vol.).

It is in French (a recurring problem these days!), but the work is so well known that you may be able to find an English translation.

Best wishes,

Lyne
