	Italo-Celtic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Both in Italic (Popliosio Valesiosio, Lapis Satricanus) and in Celtic (Lepontic, Celtiberian -o), however, traces of the -osyo Genitive of Proto-Indo-European have been discovered, so that the spread of the i-Genitive must have occurred in the two groups independently (or by areal diffusion).
		Calvert Watkins (1966) recognizes that "the community of -ī in Italic and Celtic is attributable to early contact, rather than to an original unity." The i-Genitive has been compared to the so-called Cvi formation in Sanskrit, but that too is probably a comparatively late development.

		Authors of works on word origins must choose whether to err on the side of including fanciful derivations, or to err on the side of sticking to the well-attested and uncontroversial.
		Scholars are tempted to show off their novel theories, and Watkins tops them all.
		Watkins lists roughly twice that many roots, but some unknown percetage must surely be spurious.

	ORAL TRADITION IN HOMER, PRESOCRATICS, PLATO, ARISTOTLE Fifteen (A)
		Watkins is talking about Greek tragedy and Homer in relation to Hittite, Luvian (a dialect of Hittite), and Old Vedic (RIG VEDA).
		He is disjoining the origin of Greek tragedy from the typical view that it mainly arose "in the contemporary framework of the polis religion and of active Dionysiac cult.
		Though Watkins is leaving the main effort of proving a direct connection between the Hittites and Greek drama to a forthcoming (1995) work by Heinrichs, Watkin's

		In the remainder of the book, Watkins examines in detail the structure of the dragon/serpent- slaying myths, which recur in various guises throughout the Indo-European poetic tradition.

		Of greater interest to most readers with an interest in word origins and the history of English are the reconstructed words themselves and the progress of a word or word-root through 60 centuries of use and transformation to the present day.
		As Watkins notes in his introduction, this dictionary "is designed and written for the general English speaking public and not for specialists in the field of Indo-European linguistics." The author, a Harvard professor of Classics and Linguistics, popularizes without diluting.
		By restricting his focus to English and its close Germanic relatives and forbears, Watkins can include a comprehensive catalog of 1300+ word roots and their development without causing the book to run to thousands of pages.

	Latin Texts
		In his Chapter 17, Watkins (1995:199-206) analyzes Cato's Mars Prayer as an old form of Indo-European poetic language.
		As an old IE poem, this text would fall into four strophes, all held together with synonymous doubling, repetition, and nesting conventions.
		NOTE: Watkins restores (du)ene, the Old Latin form for bene and (du)onam, for bonam.

		Hence, Watkins gives us the modern English exemplars of the root, whether they come through Germanic directly or indirectly, or through another PIE sister language such as Latin, Greek, Sanskrit, etc.,.
		For each root Watkins refers to the proto-form as it is given and numbered (i.e., here 1061) in Pokorny's authoritative "Indogermanisches Etymologisches Woerterbuch" or notes its absence therein.
		Watkins also inserts a "language and culture note" on about every other page, giving philological/ethnological insight into the implications of the existence of certain forms and their connotations in the IE proto-language.

		"The Third Donkey: Origin Legends and Some Hidden Indo-European Themes," by Calvert Watkins, connects the legend of the daughters of Danaus, as dramatized by Aeschylus in his Suppliants, with similar stories in the Indic and Hittite traditions, RV 10.86 and the Hittite Zalpa tale.
		Watkins further argues that this myth is "intimately linked" (p.
		Watkins observes that Pindar Pythian 10.31-36 describes the sacrifice of sexually aroused donkeys, and suggests that the two parts of the original story have become detached from each other in Greek.

		More than 13,000 words are traced to their origins in Proto-Indo-European, the prehistoric ancestor of English that was spoken before the advent of writing.
		In Calvert Watkins’s skilled hands, Proto-Indo-European language and society are rendered as alive and compelling as they must have been six thousand years ago.
		His introductory essay shows how words in an unrecorded ancient language can be reconstructed and offers a wealth of fascinating information about Proto-Indo-European culture.

		Calvert Watkins, in his American Heritage Dictionary of Indo-European Roots, goes so far as to suggest that gooseberry derives from a Teutonic root, *g(e)r- "curving, crooked", perhaps referring simply to the curved shape of the berries.
		As for strawberry, you suggest that English straw derives from its color, while Calvert Watkins believes it derives from the Indo-European root *ster- "to spread", with straw meaning, etymologically, "that which is scattered [or spread]".
		I grew up in England and everyone who had a garden used straw under the leaves and berries to prevent the soil being splashed onto the berries when it rained.

		It is a very impressive suggestion and it seems to me too that you should stake your claim to it as fast as possible as a preparation to a longer discussion.
		I have no books here but two things come to me. One is that perhaps you should send this to Cal Watkins - just one of those things he likes and he may give you some further parallels.
		Your further evidence that this usage is old helps support the idea that the root was originally "presential" and processual (see most recently García-Ramón, FS Watkins).
