Title: Palaeolexicon: Word Study Tool for Ancient Languages
Body:
From http://www.palaeolexicon.com/About.aspx
Palaeolexicon started as a project in December 2008 and its aim was to provide a searchable index of Mycenaean Greek glosses. During the early development stages, it was decided that Phrygian should be docked in as well. Then languages of the greater Balkan and Anatolia area followed.
The Palaeolexicon database contains public and partial dictionaries that in turn contain thousands of words. The difference between a public and partial dictionary, is that a public dictionary is available for browsing, while a partial dictionary will return results corresponding the search criteria of a user.
Palaeolexicon has currently the following public dictionaries:
- Greek
- Linear B (Mycenaean Greek)
- Cypriot (Syllabic script)
- Cappadocian
- Anatolian (Indo-European)
- Carian
- Lydian
- Anatolian (Pre-Indo-European)
- Hattic
- Eteo-Cypriot
- Germanic
- Old Norse
- Phrygian
- Pre-Celtic
- Pre-Greek toponyms
- Proto-Kartvelian
- Proto-Turkic
- Thracian
- Tocharian
The partial dictionaries include the following languages:
- Italic languages
- Latin
- Armenian
- Indo-Iranic
- Old Persian
- Ossetian
- Sanskrit
- Anatolian (Indo-European)
- Hittite
- Luwian
- Lycian
- Anatolian (Non-IE) / Mesopotamian
- Hurrian
- Urartian
- Sumerian
- Greek (Attic, Doric, Aeolic and other minor dialects)
