Cross-linguistic studies show that languages follow clear tendencies in the ordering of morphemes inside a word that have been variously accounted for in the scholarly literature. Morphological structures, however, are not immune to change and the order of morphemes
can be altered in the history of a language due to various kinds of processes, thus leading to an unusual order inside the word. The expected order of morphemes can be restored in different ways, one of which is the externalization of inflection. There are interesting
examples of this type of processes in the pronominal inflection of the ancient Indo-European languages, which provide relevant information about this type of change.
After revising those processes, we focus on the analysis of the *-sm-enlargement –apparently devoid of any semantic content– that appears in the oblique cases of certain Indo-European demonstrative pronouns (such as Skt. tásmai, Goth. Þamma, OPrus. stesmu, etc.) and in some
cases of the 1st and 2nd plural personal pronouns (Skt. asmā́n and yuṣmā́n, Gk. hēmeîs and hūmeîs, etc.). We carry out a thorough survey of those forms and provide evidence to support the idea that this -sm-enlargement was originally an emphatic particle that has been ‘trapped’
between the pronominal stem and the nominal endings and we interpret the data in the light of the processes mentioned above.

The goal of this paper is to provide some insights into the degree morphology of the ancient IE languages, specifically the superlative suffixes *‑is-toand *‑is- ̊mo-, which have a wider dialectal distribution and could go back to PIE. The relationship of those superlative suffixes to ordinal suffixes is known, but its nature has not been appropriately explained. The suffixes *‑to- and *‑mo- must have originated in the ordinals as thematic formations derived from cardinals and then expanded to the superlatives through the ordinal ‘first’ and other semantically related adjectives (‘last’ and polar/spatial adjectives). Those words provide the semantic and combinatory links between ordinals and superlatives that account for the shared morphology, as the textual evidence also proves. The use of *‑to- and *‑mo- in all those words across the Indo-European languages shows a systematic correlation. The suffixes *‑is-to- and *‑is- ̊mo- are a nice example of transparent nesting, since both include the zero-grade of the comparative suffix. They must have started as relative superlatives, given that ‘first’, ‘last’ and the other related words cannot be absolute superlatives. This is in accordance with a general tendency of evolution of the expressions of the superlative degree.

This is a preprint of the introduction to our edited volume, Reconstructing Syntax, currently under review at Brill Press. In this introduction, we propose a concrete and rigorous methodology for identifying syntactic cognates and for identifying the directionality of changes, the combination putting the reconstruction of syntax on a more solid theoretical and empirical foundation.

There is no general agreement as to whether relative clauses can be reconstructed for Proto-Indo-European and, in case they can, as to what pronoun was used for introducing them. It is thus interesting to review the evidence available for the reconstruction of the process of grammaticalization of *kwi-/kwo- relative clauses. Attention is brought to the synchronic and diachronic typological evidence of the relationship between relative, interrogative, and indefinite pronouns, since it can shed light on these phenomena. New insights can also be gained if we take into account the existence not only of restrictive and appositive relative clauses, but also of a third type – maximalizing relative clauses. The uses
of *kwi-/kwo- relative clauses in older Indo-European languages suggest that the grammaticalization of this pronoun as a relative marker can be best explained as arising from its previous interrogative value and must have originated in maximalizing relative clauses.

Current knowledge about the language of the South-Western steles from the Iberian peninsula is reviewed in this paper. It is argued that the appropriate methodology for the study of this language should rely on a thorough internal analysis of the data provided by the inscriptions themselves, instead of jumping to hasty interpretations and etymological proposals allegedly supporting its classification as a Celtic language. Internal evidence provides relevant information about phonetics and allows for identifying possible lexemes and suffixes, which is
crucial for the advancement in the understanding of this language.

Ancient indigenous languages of Spain and Portugal (Palaeohispanic languages) are attested through a limited number
of extant documents and sources. Despite this, the number of inscriptions in Palaeohispanic languages grows every year and
there are important findings from time to time. Any printed editions grow older very quickly and supplements cannot keep
up with the publication of new findings. The production of an electronic corpus that can be updated and modified as new
inscriptions appear and improvements in the reading and interpretation of published inscriptions are proposed was, therefore,
a must.
Since its original inception the Hesperia databank was designed to fill that gap. It gathers comprehensive information about the
ancient indigenous languages of Spain, Portugal and Southern France. It includes the extant inscriptions in those languages
(Iberian, Celtiberian, Lusitanian and less well identified languages), and also other linguistic records, such as the indigenous
names (personal names, god names, and place names) that appear on Latin inscriptions or are mentioned by Latin and Greek
sources.
This contribution provides a detailed technical description of the Hesperia databank, which has also been the starting point for
developing the AEHTAM databank of Late Antique and Medieval Inscriptions from Spain. Information about this databank is also

En una inscripción de Plasencia recientemente publicada se ha propuesto reconocer los teónimos en dativo Solidi, Labbo y Lacissabricobo, el segundo de los cuales está atestiguado también en la inscripción lusitana del Cabeço das Fráguas. Sin embargo, creemos que la interpretación adecuada de esta inscripción debe ser como una secuencia de fórmula onomástica personal con genitivo patronímico Solidi, seguida de un teónimo con su epíteto, ambos en dativo plural (Labbo Lagissabrigobo), lo que implica un cambio respecto del análisis lingüístico tradicional del teónimo Labbo.

This paper provides a revision of an Iberian graffiti on a silver vase from the Baetica province in Spain, which had not been given much attention in the scholarly literature. The same sequence occurs on another graffiti on a different silver vase also coming from the Baetica and on graffiti on pottery from Azaila (province of Teruel). The base where the graffiti was engraved also has some Latin letters followed by numerical signs, which had not been mentioned in previous studies.

Three new inscriptions preserved at the Archaeological Museum
of Seville are published and studied for the first time in this paper. One
of them is a fake, as proved by the material on which it has been engraved and by the fact that its text is based on previously known Iberian inscriptions, especially one of the leads sheeds from Orleyl. The second inscription, which comes from La Mesa (Alcolea del Río, Seville) is a lead plaque with a short, fragmentary text. Its importance lies in the fact that it has been written a special variety of Southern Iberian writing only attested in a few inscriptions on lead so far. It provides new evidence of the use of diachritic marks with the signs of the Southern Iberian script and it is the second inscription showing a “circular” display of its text. The third inscription is a small bronze fragment of unknown provenance with a few letters.

This paper aims at offering a revision of the relationship between the names of indigenous family units in genitive plural attested on the inscriptions of Ancient Hispania and the indigenous names found in onomastic formulae that can also be used to refer to these units. As a continuation of a Veleia 2016 study on the various suffixes used for deriving these names, we present in this paper the results of a comprehensive reexamination of the documents including kinship terms together with names of family units, and paying special attention to the third Botorrita bronze. The data support the idea that these family units
were not big tribes or clans, but smaller groups with a limited duration in time. This can be connected to the information provided by a number of inscriptions concerning the emergence of new family units provided with a new name inside previously existing units that we dealt with in the first part of the paper.

This paper aims at offering a revision of the relationship between the names of indigenous family units in genitive plural attested in the inscriptions of Ancient Hispania and the indigenous names found in onomastic formulae that can also be used to refer to them. Attention is paid to various issues, such as the geographical distribution of those
names and their relationship to god names in Western Hispania. It is argued that, besides names displaying -ko-suffixes, other formations could also be used for that purpose; it may also be the case that there are certain morphological variations among the names used to refer to the same family unit. On a number of inscriptions it is also possible to find information concerning the emergence of new family units provided of a new name inside previously existing family units.

In this paper I carry out a comprehensive revision and reappraisal of the occurrences of ἄλεισον in Homer and beyond, as well as of the archaeological evidence of leather vessels, in order to advance a proposal for the interpretation of Mycenaean a-re-se-si. If we can assume that leather vessels were produced and circulated in the Aegean
area during the Bronze age and the occurrences of Homeric ἄλεισον prove that it was a type of cup, we can conclude that Myc. a-re-se-si (dative plural of an s-stem ἄλεισος) must have referred to leather cups.

Questo manuale intende offrire un quadro aggiornato delle conoscenze nel campo dell’epigrafia micenea. Nato dalla collaborazione di un gruppo di specialisti di varie università e centri di ricerca, contiene un’introduzione alla scrittura e alla lingua dei testi micenei e un’analisi dettagliata dei principali documenti in lineare B, suddivisi per argomento. Nel primo volume, la scrittura, le pratiche scribali e quelle amministrative sono presentate nel dettaglio e messe a confronto con quelle delle amministrazioni minoiche in “geroglifico” cretese e in lineare A, mentre i documenti sono contestualizzati sul piano archeologico e descritti dal punto di vista epigrafico, paleografico e archivistico. Nel secondo volume, dopo una descrizione dettagliata dei settori produttivi ricostruibili in base alla testimonianza delle fonti scritte, è proposta una sintesi sul mondo miceneo, relativa a geografia, società, economia e religione. Ogni capitolo del manuale è corredato da un’ampia bibliografia. Chiude il volume un glossario dei vocaboli micenei discussi nel testo.

The handbook, which is the fruit of the collaboration of a group of specialists from various universities and research centres in Italy and abroad, aims to provide an updated overview about Mycenaean epigraphy. It contains an introduction to the writing and language of the Mycenaean texts and a detailed analysis of the main Linear B documents divided by topic. In the first volume the Linear B writing system and the Mycenaean scribal and administrative practices are analyzed and compared with their Minoan antecedents (Cretan Hieroglyphics and Linear A). The second volume contains a detailed description of the different production sectors as they can be reconstructed from the Linear B texts as well as a synthesis of some major topics relating to the Mycenaean world, such as geography, society, economy and religion. Each chapter is provided with an essential bibliography. The book ends with a glossary of the Mycenaean words.

ὁποδαπός and ὁπηλίκος are usually listed among the forms that can introduce relative clauses in Ancient Greek. After analyzing all their occurrences in the extant Greek texts, it is argued that ὁποδαπός is basically an interrogative and its use as a relative is very exceptional. As for ὁπηλίκος, it is employed both as an interrogative and a relative, and also as an indefinite; this allows for identifying the contexts in which the change in function and meaning took place.

El artículo parte de una revisión de algunos de los elementos más importantes que han configurado la perspectiva europea sobre las culturas orientales a lo largo de la historia y el impacto de su literatura y su pensamiento en Europa, incluido el desarrollo del orientalismo académico durante el siglo XIX, para analizar a continuación el significativo cambio que se ha producido en los últimos años del siglo XX y primeros del siglo XXI en las relaciones entre Oriente y Occidente. El auge económico y político de algunos países asiáticos ha implicado, de forma implícita o explícita, según las ocasiones, una mayor reivindicación por su parte del valor de sus propias particularidades culturales, sin que esto implique que no adopten elementos de contemporaneidad que habitualmente se perciben como vinculados con las cultura occidental.
En culturas como la india, que cuentan con una tradición milenaria que permea todos los aspectos de la sociedad y está imbricada en una ideología que se ha ido forjando a lo largo de los siglos, su nuevo protagonismo a nivel internacional está enraizado en un pasado poscolonial pero también en la asunción de una identidad hindú diferenciadora. Curiosamente, el caso indio no había recibido atención en las obras de F. Fukuyama y S. P. Huntington, que tanta influencia tuvieron en el pensamiento de finales del siglo XX.
La cultura india se basa en unas premisas y conceptos en algunos casos radicalmente diferentes de los occidentales y difícilmente conciliables con ellos y el reto de los últimos años radica en cómo dar respuesta a los desafíos del mundo actual desde una perspectiva propia. Esto plantea no pocas tensiones, que pueden estallar en conflictos, en cuanto a la forma de asumir la tradición y proyectarla hacia el futuro, lo que se pone de manifiesto en cuestiones que abarcan desde las castas, hasta la relación con la lengua inglesa.
La proyeccción hacia el futuro no puede traducirse en una idea de imposición sobre otras culturas o en "pretensiones universalistas" en la línea de Huntington, sino en una superación de lo local y lo particular realizada desde la perspectiva de dicha cultura, en un diálogo con la cultura occidental en el que las culturas asiáticas participan de igual a igual.
Por lo que se refiere a la aproximación académica al estudio de las culturas orientales, el propio término "orientalismo" ha sufrido un desgaste y ha sido sustituido habitualmente por términos como "estudios asiáticos", ámbito en el que las dinámicas de modernización, entendidas como tensión entre tradición e innovación, deben formar parte del enfoque de la investigación, de modo que el adecuado entendimiento de las producciones literarias y artísticas de las
culturas orientales se haga sin prejuicios etnocentristas y comprendiendo cómo las nuevas creaciones hunden sus raíces en una tradición pero pueden incorporar elementos de otras tradiciones diferentes y se adaptan a las nuevas circunstancias de un entorno global.
En culturas como la india, que cuentan con una tradición milenaria que permea todos los aspectos de la sociedad y está imbricada en una ideología que se ha ido forjando a lo largo de los siglos, su nuevo protagonismo a nivel internacional está enraizado en un pasado poscolonial pero también en la asunción de una identidad hindú diferenciadora. Curiosamente, el caso indio no había recibido atención en las obras de F. Fukuyama y S. P. Huntington, que tanta influencia tuvieron en el pensamiento de finales del siglo XX.

A revision of the main religious and ideological bases of Hinduism is provided in this paper, starting with the main concepts introduced in the Upanishads. After summarizing the most sig-nificant ideas about eschatology and cosmology, special attention is paid to the different ways of achieving liberation from rebirth and to the stages and goals of men’s life. The concept of dharma (‘duty, obligation’) is analyzed in comparison to Western philosophical and religious traditions on ethics and the importance of castes and hierarchy is considered within this frame. Finally, some ideas for reflection in the context of current debates concerning philosophy, politics, and religion are proposed, based on key concepts of Hinduism.

In this paper we provide a new reading of an inscription on a silver vase found in the Baetica province of Roman Spain. The appropriate reading is Silvano te gratia. The inscription, therefore, contains the name Silvanus, which is either a new occurrence of that personal name or, less probably, of the homonymous god name. It can be dated to the end of the 2nd century or the beginning of the 1st century BC and, very interestingly, provides an early instance of the substitution of the accusative case of a personal pronoun for the dative case.

A new Latin inscription from Cástulo (Jaén), in the Roman province of Baetica, is published. It had been wrongly considered an Iberian inscription. The inscription provides a new occurrence of the female personal name Auitina and an additional instance of the development of a phonetic glide in the noun puuella.

The occurrence of the verb faced, which is now attested on a Faliscan krater, has major implications for the analysis of the forms built on the root
*dheH1-k- in the Italic languages. Present tense forms of that root are characterized by a zero root grade and a suffix *-yo-, while the perfect is a formation with zero root grade and reduplication (*fe-fak-). Faliscan faced and its correspondants in Sabellic languages can be best explained as "dereduplicated” perfects, as opposed to the “aoristic” Latin perfect feci. The fact that faced is the perfect of the verb “make” in Faliscan also shows that
Faliscan fifiked and fifiqod cannot belong to that root. This is an additional piece of evidence against the existence of a perfect with reduplication
and a long root vowel (the *fe-fēk- type) in the Italic languages.

La naturaleza de trabajos como el DMic. los liga a la necesidad de revisiones periódicas que subsanen el desfase al que inexorablemente los somete el paso del tiempo. En el caso que nos ocupa, ello es así por varias razones. La primera, la aparición de ediciones nuevas de textos ya conocidos que han mejorado notablemente su intelección, tanto por contener nuevas uniones de fragmentos tabléticos, considerados, hasta el momento, de manera independiente y que proporcionan al texto resultante una nueva dimensión interpretativa, cuanto en lo referente a su léxico, por sacar a la luz términos nuevos, consecuencia de esas uniones o de mejores lecturas de los textos. Este es el caso de las últimas ediciones de los textos pilios 1 y cnosios. 2 La segunda, y no menos importante, se refiere a la aparición de ediciones de textos nuevos, desconocidos cuando se elaboró el DMic. En este sentido, aparte del afortunado y continuado goteo de documentos nuevos que, de un tiempo a esta parte, proporcionan los yacimientos, 3 hay que destacar, de manera sobresaliente, las más de doscientas tablillas, o fragmentos de tablillas, encontradas por Vassilis L. Aravantinos en Tebas 4 , que han engrosado, de manera muy notable, los recogidos en TITHEMY. 5 El hallazgo ha sido capital, no solo por lo que supone en cuanto al enriquecimiento del léxico conocido hasta el momento,

Témoignant du dynanisme actuel de la recherche sur les contacts linguistiques dans l'Antiquité, ce livre analyse l'impact de la diffusion du grec et du latin sur les langues indigènes du bassin méditerranéen occidental et les influences des substrats autochtones sur l'épigraphie gréco-latine. La perspective linguistique est complétée par les contributions d'archéologues, d'historiens et d'épigraphistes qui rendent compte de diverses pratiques liées à l'écriture et aux usages onomastiques.

En este artículo se lleva a cabo la revisión de un grafito ibérico sobre un vaso de plata procedente de la Bética, al que no se había prestado demasiada atención en la bibliografía previa. Idéntica secuencia se encuentra en otro grafito sobre otro vaso de plata, igualmente de la Bética, y en algún grafito del sitio de Azaila (Teruel). En la misma base del vaso donde se grabó el grafito hay también dos letras latinas acompañadas de indicaciones numerales que no habían sido mencionadas en estudios anteriores.
This paper provides a revision of an Iberian graffiti on a silver vase from the Baetica province in Spain, which had not been given much attention in the scholarly literature. The same sequence occurs on another graffiti on a different silver vase also coming from the Baetica and on graffiti on pottery from Azaila (province of Teruel). The base where the graffiti was engraved also has some Latin letters followed by numerical signs, which had not been mentioned in previous studies.

The general consensus in the historical linguistics community for the last half a century or so has been that syntactic reconstruction is a bootless and unsuccessful venture. However, this view has slowly but steadily been changing among historical linguists, typologists, and anthropological linguists alike. More and more syntactic reconstructions are being published by respectable and virtuous publication venues. The debate on the viability of syntactic reconstruction, however, continues, and issues like i) lack of cognates, ii) lack of arbitrariness in syntax, iii) lack of directionality in syntactic change, iv) lack of continuous transmission from one generation to the next, and v) lack of form-meaning correspondences have, drop by drop, been argued not to be problematic for syntactic reconstruction. The present volume contributes to two of these issues in detail; first the issue of reliably identifying cognates in syntax and second , the issue of directionality in syntactic change. A systematic program is suggested for identifying cognates in syntax, which by definition is a different enterprise from identifying cognates in phonology or morphology. Examples are given from several different language families: Indo-European, Semitic, Austronesian, Jê, Cariban, and Chibchan. Regarding the issue of directionality for syntactic reconstruction, most of the studies in this volume also demonstrate how local directionality may be identified with the aid of different types of morphosyntactic flags, particularly showcased with examples from Chibchan, Semitic, and various Indo-European languages.
