(sarant@innet.lu) on Thu, 02 Apr 1998 17:51:55 GMT we perused:
*+-More generally, it is amazing how many archaisms survive in
*+-various dialects in Greece. The leading Greek etymologist,
*+-Andriotis, has compiled a dictionary of them, appropriately
*+-written in German and published in Wien, hence virtually
*+-unknown in Greece except to scholars.
You could reconstruct Classical Greek by merging the various archaisms
of various dialects.. then again, this is true of any
language.. haven't you heard of those that supposedly still speak
Elizabethan English off the coast of Maryland?
I'd bet these would confound many so-called "scholars" of W Sydney Allen's ilk.
Please do post a source for Andriotis (an ISBN number would be great).
