For one who has abandoned craving and is free from
grasping,
who is skilled in etymology and terms, knowing
the groupings and sequences of letters,
this is the final birth.
This one is called
the Great Being,
the Great Sage.
Dhammapada (24.19)
The primary focus of the project is the production of the Etymological Dictionary and Thesaurus, organized by semantic fields. The first volume of the Dictionary is Body part Nomenclature, which will be published in smaller units called fascicles. The etymologies belonging to the first fascicle, relating to reproductive anatomy, will be published electronically starting in 2004.
The current projection for the entire series is as follows:
Volume I: Body Parts
Volume II: Animals, Natural Objects, Plants
Volume III: Kinship Terms, Ethnonyms, Social Roles, Personal Effects
Volume IV: Culture, Artifacts, Religion
Volume V: Verbs of Motion, of Manipulation, and of Production (Action Verbs)
Volume VI: Abstract Nouns and Verbs, Psychological Verbs, Verbs of Utterance
Volume VII: Shape, Size, Color, Measure, Number, Time, Space
Volume VIII: Grammatical words
In addition to the main volumes, STEDT also publishes a monograph series. Descriptions and order information is available on the STEDT publications page.
