Subject: Celtic, Germanic, Greek and Italic etymology
The subject header here repeated in two questions, the first being of comprehensive Affix lists in Modern English ( i.e. all roots, prefixes, suffixes, and combining forms prevalent in our Modern English language having derived from, amongst few others if at all, Latinian and Greek Indo-European Branches ) and the second question being of a comprehensive Celtic and Germanic lexeme list prevalent in Modern English unabridged dictionaries.
Merriam Webster's Third New International Unabridged, and Root Words and Combining Forms by Professor Donald J. Borrow are both incomplete works in that they do not print beyond the singular elaborations of such technical fields as biology, though are nonetheless guides that have been recognized for and acclaimed on such matters as exhaustiveness. The OED electronic version has utile seach tools though is similarly incomplete, and the printed version itself is not so descriptivistic as Merriam Webster's; all of which is to complement my two questions.
If you have any information which may lead to such lists, you will be contributing greatly in ways that, are here too difficult to explain conveniently, though nonetheless in ways that shall be greatly appreciated!
A sincere thank you!
Justin.
