Everything about Julius Pokorny totally explained
Julius Pokorny (
12 June 1887 –
8 April 1970) was a scholar of the
Celtic languages, particularly
Irish, and a supporter of
Irish nationalism. He was born in
Prague,
Austria–Hungary and studied at the
University of Vienna, where he also taught from 1913 to 1920. From 1920 to 1935, he held the chair of Celtic

nationalist, he was of
Jewish descent.
He was the editor of the important journal
Zeitschrift für celtische Philologie before
World War II, and was responsible for reviving it afterwards.
He emigrated to
Switzerland in 1943, where he taught for a few years at the
University of Berne and at the
University of Zürich until his retirement in 1959. In 1954, he received an honorary professorship at
Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich, where he taught part-time in 1956 and again from 1960 to 1965. He is the author of the
Indogermanisches Etymologisches Wörterbuch (
Indo-European Etymological Dictionary; 1959) which is still widely used today. He died in
Zürich in 1970 almost three weeks after being hit by a
tram not far from his home.
