About the Author
Georg Morgenstierne (1892-1978), Emeritus Professor of Indian philology in the University of Oslo, was recognised as the uncontested master of Iranian and Indo-Iranian dialectology. Many of his numerous publications were devoted to the languages of Afghanistan and to the "Indo-Iranian Frontier languages," the little-known dialects spoken on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, some of which he was the first to describe. The compilation and edition of this posthumous work by Morgenstierne was initiated by the late D. N. MacKenzie (Professor Emeritus of Oriental Philology, University of Gottingen) and has been completed by Josef Elfenbein and Nicholas Sims-Williams.
Review
"Review - English ""Summing up, the new edition of the etymological vocabulary of Pashto is a valuable and useful aid for those scholars who are interested in the Iranian, Indo-Iranian and Indo-European linguistics, etymology and philology. One can only regret that it was not given to the excellent and competent etymologist Morgenstierne himself to complete and publish the dictionary 25 years ago.""In: Studia Iranica. Tome 35 (2006), fasc. 1. S. 109-122. (zwei Rezensionen)hier S. 122, von Krysztof Tomasz Witczak, Lodz-----------------------""Etymologische Worterbucher sind nie abgeschlossen; so finden sich auch in diesem ""Morgenstierne"" Lucken, die man in einer dritten Bearbeitung des Stoffs geschlossen wunschte. Vorerst aber steht der Dank dafur im Vordergrund, dass ein meisterliches Unternehmen des fruhen 20. Jahrhunderts nach fast acht Jahrzehnten diese Erneuerung und Verbesserung gefunden hat.""In: Kratylos. 50 (2005). S. 89-91."
