The '''Indogermanisches Etymologisches Wörterbuch''' ("The Indo-European Etymological Dictionary"), an updated and slimmed-down reworking of the three-volume ''Vergleichendes Wörterbuch der indogermanischen Sprachen'' of Alois Walde and Julius Pokorny (1927-32) by the Austrian-German comparative linguist and Celtic languages expert Julius Pokorny, that was published in 1959. Both of these works aim to provide an overview of the lexical knowledge accumulated until the early 20th century, but with only stray comments on the structure of individual forms. The newer work is now slightly outdated, especially as it was conservative even at the time Pokorny wrote it, ignoring the laryngeal theory, and hardly including any Tocharian or Anatolian material. But there until 2000 existed no more modern and updated etymological dictionary of the Indo-European languages, so it was of interest to scholars until arrival of Indogermanisches Wörterbuch by Gerhard Köbler.
