Abstract :
In my recently-published joint monograph with John C. KERNS entitled The Nostratic Macrofamily: A Study in Distant Linguistic Relationship (BOMHARD- KERNS 1994), I listed and discussed 601 possible Nostratic etymologies. Since writing this book, my research has continued, and, as a result, I have changed my mind about a small number of the etymologies listed in the book, and I have accumulated material for new etymologies. In this paper, I would like to present a number of additional Nostratic etymologies. First, however, I will begin by giving a brief introduction to the basic assumptions made in my book.
