Field notes
The index sorts roots by the number of English derivatives listed and pairs each root with a Chinese gloss and sample words. Its search prompt accepts examples in both writing systems, including “脚,” “spect,” and “pedal.” The homepage names Wiktionary as its source and links to separate explanations of why it starts with PIE and how to read symbols such as h₁.
