Hamp talks about Avestan, which is known to possess in its grammar an original and distinctive mode of formation for numeral fractions, must represent in this formation a Common Iranian trait. Apart ...from stray attested traces in Middle Iranian, Karl Hoffmann has seen that Elamite forms identified by George Cameron as loans from Old Persian precisely replicate the system known from Avestan.
Romanian sturz 'thrush' and corb 'raven' are clearly Latin, and mag- <Mag(gie) <-- Marg-aret + more obscured pica; cotofana, pl. -fene goes with neighboring Pontic and South Slavic koc, while tarca ...Magyar szarka 'magpie' goes with nearby Slavic sraka. And Slavic sraka/soroka with tarca must go back to a common ancestor with Albanian sorre and Romanian cioara. The Latin Romanian mierla 'ousel, blackbird,' as I have shown (1992, 1997), is originally North-Central European. But an origin further north may need to be reconsidered; or an earlier origin.

A detailed reconstruction of the names for apple & apple-tree in Indo-European languages occasioned by a discussion on the etymology of Crimean Gothic apel 'apple' found in Feist's Vergleichendes ...Worterbuch der gotischen Sprache (Comparative Dictionary of the Gothic Language 1939); the lemma is argued to be in need of updating & revision necessary in light of new information on the domestication & geographic distribution & chronology of the apple tree in Europe & Eurasia. The project is seen not as criticism or dismissal of Feist's scholarship but progress & the "ongoing process of learning." An extensive survey of dictionaries & other sources is conducted to identify forms for apple & apple-tree in the individual Indo-European languages. Special attention is devoted to reconstructing these forms for the Geg & Tosk dialects of Albanian. It is observed that the formal reconstruction for Albanian leads to the conclusion that the original semantics of the word is not apple but sorb or rowan. Z. Dubiel
Bernard Comrie, in his contribution on the Slavic languages to the volume edit ed by J. Gvozdanović (p. 766), reports a fact of particular historical interest. In pre senting the forms and ...behavior of the 'teens amongst the numerals' Comrie states that two accentual patterns apply, an oxytone and a recessive, i.e. -nájst and ÚNIT najst. However, he points out that exceptionally in the case of '1l' only enájst the oxy tone occurs.
