List of Dacian plant names
Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIS : List of Dacian plant names
This is a list of plant names in Dacian, an ancient language of South Eastern Europe, from Dioscorides' De Materia Medica (abb. MM) and Pseudo-Apuleius' Herbarius (abb. Herb.). Dacian plant names are one of the primary sources left to us for studying the Dacian language. This list also includes a Bessian plant name and a Moesian plant name, neighboring Daco-Thracian tribes.
A separate list exists containing Dacian words that form the Eastern Romance substratum.
