  2. Proto-Indo European, PIEnoun

Samuel Johnson's Dictionary

  1. Pienoun

    Etymology: This word is derived by Stephen Skinner from biezan, to build, that is to build of paste; by Franciscus Junius derived by contraction from pasty; if pasties, doubled together without walls, were the first pies, the derivation is easy from pie, a foot; as in some provinces, an apple pasty is still called an apple foot.

    No man’s pie is freed
    From his ambitious finger. William Shakespeare, Henry VIII.

    Mincing of meat in pies saveth the grinding of the teeth, and therefore more nourishing to them that have weak teeth. Francis Bacon, Natural History.

    He is the very Withers of the city; they have bought more editions of his works, than would serve to lay under all their pies at a lord mayor’s Christmas. Dryden.

    Chuse your materials right;
    From thence of course the figure will arise,
    And elegance adorn the surface of your pies. King.

    Eat beef or pie-crust, if you’d serious be. King.

    The pie will discharge thee for pulling the rest. Thomas Tusser.

    The raven croak’d hoarse on the chimney’s top,
    And chattering pies in dismal discords sung. William Shakespeare.

    Who taught the parrot human notes to try,
    Or with a voice endu’d the chatt’ring pie?
    ’Twas witty want. Dryden.

    Mr. Slender, come; we stay for you. ——
    —— I’ll eat nothing, I thank you, Sir. ——
    —— By cock and pie, you shall not chuse, Sir; come, come. William Shakespeare, Merry Wives of Windsor.

  1. PIE

    Proto-Indo-European (PIE) is the reconstructed common ancestor of the Indo-European language family. Its proposed features have been derived by linguistic reconstruction from documented Indo-European languages. No direct record of Proto-Indo-European exists.Far more work has gone into reconstructing PIE than any other proto-language, and it is the best understood of all proto-languages of its age. The majority of linguistic work during the 19th century was devoted to the reconstruction of PIE or its daughter languages, and many of the modern techniques of linguistic reconstruction (such as the comparative method) were developed as a result.PIE is hypothesized to have been spoken as a single language from 4500 BC to 2500 BC during the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age, though estimates vary by more than a thousand years. According to the prevailing Kurgan hypothesis, the original homeland of the Proto-Indo-Europeans may have been in the Pontic–Caspian steppe of eastern Europe. The linguistic reconstruction of PIE has provided insight into the pastoral culture and patriarchal religion of its speakers.As speakers of Proto-Indo-European became isolated from each other through the Indo-European migrations, the regional dialects of Proto-Indo-European spoken by the various groups diverged, as each dialect underwent shifts in pronunciation (the Indo-European sound laws), morphology, and vocabulary. Over many centuries, these dialects transformed into the known ancient Indo-European languages. From there, further linguistic divergence led to the evolution of their current descendants, the modern Indo-European languages. Today, the descendant languages of PIE with the most native speakers are Spanish, English, Portuguese, Hindustani (Hindi and Urdu), Bengali, Russian, Punjabi, German, Persian, French, Marathi, Italian, and Gujarati. PIE is believed to have had an elaborate system of morphology that included inflectional suffixes (analogous to English child, child's, children, children's) as well as ablaut (vowel alterations, as preserved in English sing, sang, sung, song) and accent. PIE nominals and pronouns had a complex system of declension, and verbs similarly had a complex system of conjugation. The PIE phonology, particles, numerals, and copula are also well-reconstructed. Asterisks are used as a conventional mark of reconstructed words, such as *wódr̥, *ḱwṓ, or *tréyes; these forms are the reconstructed ancestors of the modern English words water, hound, and three, respectively.

  1. Pie

    A pie is a baked dish which is usually made of a pastry dough casing that covers or completely contains a filling of various sweet or savoury ingredients. Pies are defined by their crusts. A filled pie, has pastry lining the baking dish, and the filling is placed on top of the pastry, but left open. A top-crust pie, which may also be called a cobbler, has the filling in the bottom of the dish and the filling covered with a pastry or other covering before baking. A two-crust pie has the filling completely enclosed in the pastry shell. Flaky pastry is a typical kind of pastry used for pie crusts, but many things can be used, including baking powder biscuits, mashed potatoes, and crumbs. Pies can be a variety of sizes, ranging from bite-size to ones designed for multiple servings.
