If someone gives me 43 references....oh, dear, I wind up looking at NONE of them. :(
I had an excellent book on etymology for both my undergrad and post-grad studies, here's the wiki about the author: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Jespersen The language has evolved so very rapidly since the days of my University studies that it's even more fascinating than before! Can anyone tell me if there are equally good studies on languages like Hindi, or Tamizh,please? Udhay, can you ask your Erudite Uncle?
