Je schärfer eine Kritik formuliert wird, je polemischer ein “übelmeinender Rezensent” wird, desto überlegter und gründlicher sollte seine Besprechung gehalten sein – “anderenfalls wird es lächerlich”. So jedenfalls lautete einer der Grundsätze von G. Doerfer (der ja bekanntlich ein Freund besonders deutlich formulierter Kritik war). Dessen nun posthum erschienenes “Etymologisch-ethnologisches Wörterbuch tungusischer Dialekte”, an dem mitarbeiten zu dürfen, dem Vf. dieser Zeilen eine besondere Freude war, wurde in einer der vorangegangenen Ausgaben der Ural-Altaischen Jahrbücher von R. A. Miller besprochen (oder besser gesagt: verrissen).

https://doi.org/10.4467/20834624SL.13.011.1142The Yukaghir language as a member of the Nostratic family of languages
The article deals with the treatment of Yukaghir languages (Tundra-Y., Kolyma-Y., Chuvan, Omok) by several prominent Nostraticists (H. Pedersen, V. M. Illič-Svityč, J. H. Greenberg, A. R. Bomhard, K. H. Menges, V. Blažek, A. B. Dolgopol’skij). The author gives an overview on their attempts of different quality to relate the Yukaghir languages with the Nostratic family and sketches some omnicomparativists’ hypothesises on macro-families such as “Uralo-Yukaghir” or “Eurasiatic”.

The following article deals with the Tungus-Yukaghir lexical relations. For this the Tungus materials from S.M. Širokogorov’s “Tungus Dictionary” (TD), which are possibly borrowed from Yukaghir languages and traced back to Yukaghir forms in G. Doerfer’s “Etymologisch-ethnologisches Wörterbuch tungusischer Dialekte vornehmlich der Mandschurei” (EEW), which is based on the TD, are discussed.

https://doi.org/10.4467/20843836SE.11.002.0048Im vorliegenden Aufsatz wird – ausgehend von einem Eintrag in dem von K. H. Menges nachgelassenen Manuskript des “Etymologischen Wörterbuchs der türkischen und anderen orientalischen Elemente im Serbokroatischen” – den möglichen Ursprüngen von Serbokroatisch čêrga ~ čȅrga ‘(kleines) Zelt, Teppich, etc.’, Bulgarisch čérga ‘(gemusterter) Teppich, Läufer (mit Fransen) etc.’ sowie verwandten Formen in verschiedenen slaw. und türk. Sprachen (sowie im Ungarischen, Rumänischen und Albanischen) nachgegangen. Diese werden hier auf ein Bulg.-Türk. *čärgäg ~ *čärgä- zurückgeführt.
Once more on the origin of SCr. čȇrga ~ čerga ‘(small) tent, carpet etc.’
The present paper investigates the possible origins of SCr. čȇrga ~ čerga ‘(small) tent, carpet etc.’, Bulg. čérga ‘(patterned) carpet, long narrow carpet (with fringes), etc.’ and related forms in Slavonic and Turkic, as well as in Hungarian, Romanian and Albanian. The starting point is an entry in K.H. Menges’ posthumous Etymologisches Wörterbuch der türkischen und anderen orientalischen Elemente im Serbokroatischen. The forms are derived here from Bulg.-Tksh. *čärgäg ~ *čärgä-.

Although African territories constituted, for instance in the 19th c., nearly a half of the Ottoman empire, little attention has been paid to the Ottoman Turkic and other Turkic influences (e.g. the Mamluk-Kipchak ones) in that particular region, and if any, then rather their influence on the Arabic dialects and rarely on Swahili. Yet, it appears to be a very rewarding area of study, as is for instance indicated by the fact that, among others, one can come across mixed Arabic-African languages in Africa, but with a Turkic name, e.g. Turki ~ Turku in Chad or Bimbaši-Arabic (< Ottoman T. binbašı ‘major’) in southern Sudan and in northern Uganda. The present paper reports on the author’s work on the influence of the Turkic languages on the Amharic language. The results of these studies have at present a partly working character, as this is the first work in the world devoted to this subject. Among others, the author discusses the following issues: [1] the history of Ottoman-Amharic contacts; [2] the problems with defining the concept of the “Ottoman Turkic word”; [3] the possible ways in which Turkic vocabulary penetrated the Amharic language; [4] the principles of collecting the lexical material – altogether ca. 300 items – both from the printed sources and the field work in Ethiopia; [5] the division into semantic categories according to the model by A. Kannisto (1925) and a commentary to the obtained results.

Nothing new since Lichtenstein? – Or, the idea of a common origin of Arabic and German
The following review article deals with the dilettantish attempts of cAbdal-Ḥaqq Fāḍil to connect German and Arabic in the sense of genetic language relationship. The author of the book under review is neither able to clarify whether he means “German” or “Germanic”, nor whether he wants to postulate Arabic as a kind of worldproto-language or to create a new language family. In addition, he ignores all well-known Lautgesetze (sound laws) as well as all researches in the field of historical linguistics of the last two hundred years.

Obgleich die Situation der Tungusologie in Deutschland heute als eher “bescheiden” betrachtet werden muß und sich die Frage nach dem gegenwärtigen Stand der tungusischen etymologischen Forschungen in Deutschland – so der Eindruck – gar nicht erst stellt (– scheinen solche in der Wahrnehmung der Vertreter der der Tungusologie benachbarten Disziplinen gegenwärtig überhaupt nicht betrieben zu werden –), möchte der Vf. des vorliegenden kleinen Beitrags (– ungeachtet der scheinbar hoffnungslosen Lage –) doch so etwas wie einen Zustandsbericht liefern.
