Words beginning with L cover

Volume 5 of the Hittite Etymological Dictionary puts the total work past the mid-point of the alphabetical inventory of the Hittite language. It covers not only words with the initial L, additions and corrections to the earlier volumes, but also the complete indices to comparands in other languages, thus opening up volume 1-5 to other philologies (Indic, Greek, Germanic, etc.).

"[...] this is a useful, indeed indispensable, tool for the Hittite philologist, for the student of ancient cultures, no less than the Indo-Europeanists." Winona Lake in Journal of the American Oriental Society
