LGPN-Ling

A new project, LGPN-Ling (Etymological and Semantic Analysis of Greek Personal Names) began on the 1st October 2015, thanks to a grant from Oxford University's Fell Fund and to funding from the Institut Universitaire de France: Etymology and Semantics. Using a multi-column table attached to the main LGPN database it aims to provide each individual entry for each Greek name with a breakdown detailing: the root (or roots) and suffix (or suffixes) from which the name is compounded; an indication of the formal structure of compounds (e.g. verb plus noun); the meanings of the roots; as well as additional information to illustrate the original meaning of the compounds; and a bibliography. You can read more about LGPN-Ling here.
