Tahiri ve Etimolojik Türkie Türkcesi Lugati. Cilt 2: F‒J

The lack of a comprehensive etymological dictionary of the Turkish language and requests of colleagues to reprint his former etymological studies was the reason why Andreas Tietze decided to compile the prior etymological publications in an extended lexicon. The wide ranging material of lexemes, references and his articles are the main sources for the dictionary. Andreas Tietze had been collecting lexemes and references in card-index boxes his whole academic life. His etymological research focused on borrowings from European languages such as Italian, Greek and Slavic, as well as Persian and Arabic, and their development in Ottoman/Turkish. Words which exhibit special grammatical features and are seldom found in dictionaries and those, whose etymology is not yet unequivocal, have been added first and foremost. The first volume A through E was published in 2002. Andreas Tietze’s sudden death 22 December 2003 caused an interruption in the ongoing work. At the beginning of 2008 the last corrections for the printing of Volume II (F to J) were finished. Preparations are underway for publishing volumes III to VI.
