"A Major Addition to Germanic Resources", July 14, 2007 By John E. Mclaughlin This is a major addition to the corpus of work on Germanic languages. Old Frisian has been long neglected in Germanic studies, but this work will help to fill that gap in our knowledge. It deserves to be placed alongside Lehmann's (1984) "A Gothic Etymological Dictionary" as a major resource for not just the language in question, but for its place within Germanic and Indo-European as well. Each entry includes the reconstructed Proto-Frisian form, Germanic cognates, Proto-Germanic form, Proto-Indo-European form, and Indo-European cognates. The cognate lists include not just the expected primary roots, but appropriate derivational forms as well. The amount of data in this work is truly impressive. But equally impressive is the clear and unambiguous formatting. It is always clear what you are looking at and it is easy to find simple information quickly and easily. This is a truly wonderful reference to a long-ignored Old Germanic language.
