| Description | In this article fourteen selected tree-names attested in several Indo-European branches, or only in individual languages, are studied in the perspective of their external relations. The etymological analyses of these words imply the following scenarios: adoption of tree-names from various substratal donorlanguages; borrowing from a non-IE source into IE language(s); borrowing from an IE source into non-IE language(s); common heritage, if dendronyms are shared in Indo-European with other language families and none of the preceding scenarios can be applied. |
