Release Date: 2013-01-30
Traditionally, etymology is concerned with the study of lexical items. However, in this book etymology is understood more generally as a research approach concerned with the question of how a particular word or structure came into existence. As a result, etymology can investigate the origin of words (lexical etymology) but also structural elements, such as morphemes and constructions (structural etymology). This pioneer volume assembles thirteen etymological studies over a broad range of languages, ranging from Europe to Australia and the Pacific, focusing in particular on Australian Indigenous languages. The phenomena investigated in the contributions comprise the origin of Australian Indigenous place names and kinship terms, constructions and word histories in Oceanic languages, typological investigations as well as papers on the methodology of etymological research. This volume is intended for a scholarly audience including intermediate and advanced university students with an interest in historical linguistic, especially in etymology, but also semantics, toponymy and language contact.

That year, most of the clans related to the Blood Demon Old Ancestor were destroyed. Only a few forces remained… for example, our Bu family After that, Bu Tong reported quite a few forces related to the Blood Demon Old Ancestor to Su Mo. In total, there were still 20 or 30 clans, big or small - The centipede with a hundred legs, still not falling in death.
