Etymologien

The 2nd supplement to Volumes 21-23 of Walter von Wartburg's "Französisches Etymologisches Wörterbuch" (FEW) ("French Etymological Dictionary") contains proposals (some previously unpublished) by numerous co-workers with regard to less well-established and doubtful etymologies in Volumes 22/1, 22² and 23 of the FEW. As in Volume 1 this continuation also assembles proposals already published, further bibliographic information, predatings, corrections etc. The presentation follows the conceptual arrangement of the material and the article layout in the FEW, thus guaranteeing ease of use for this supplement to the Wartburg dictionary. A third and final volume is in preparation, which will also contain a complete index.

The third and final supplement to volumes 21-23 of the FEW (Walther von Wartburg's »Französisches Etymologisches Wörterbuch« = Etymological Dictionary of French) proposes new, in some cases hitherto unpublished solutions, and contains bibliographic information, indications for further reading, corrections, predatings, etc. It also has a number of additions to the material published in Etymologies 1 and 2. The volume closes with a complete index to all three supplements to the FEW and a selected bibliography.
