Key topics include root morphemes, derivational affixes, and word families. Urledninger analyzes how productive affixes create
Examples illustrate how words in a language family share related derivatives and how languages may descend
Applications of urledninger include the development of etymological dictionaries, language documentation, and historical linguistics research. Limitations
