Inhalt
In my talk I am going to discuss the terms for horses and chariots which we can reconstruct for Proto-Indo-Iranian, the parent language of the Indo-Aryan and Iranian languages. Special attention will be paid to the stratification of this vocabulary, from Indo-Anatolian to Core Indo-European to Indo-Iranian. This will allow us to put the technical advances into a chronological perspective and to correlate the linguistic and the archaeological data.
