Das Suffix *-u̯ó- im Indogermanischen und Anatolischen

  • Norbert Oettinger

Zusammenfassung

The PIE suffix *-u̯o- was originally denominative and had oppositional function but was normally not used for space terms. After the PIE period, it became productive in the Northwest-Indo-European languages for the purpose of forming color terms. The socially distinctive function of the suffix in Anatolian discovered by Rieken and Sasseville is explained as a special development.
