Russian etymological dictionaries

[kutsuwamushi.livejournal.com]

I already have two Russian-English dictionaries, but I'd like a dictionary with etymological information - and I assume this means buying something published in Russian. That works for me.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good etyomological dictionary that I'd be able to get in the U.S.?

I'd recommend you to have a look at: http://online.multilex.ru/

CD versions of their dictionaries are also available. All of their dictionaries are essentially electronic versions of well-trusted paper dictionaries.

I didn't find there any etymological dictionary ladybirdsleeps asked for.

I simply felt that this link was a lot more useful than Lingvo. I am sorry if this is not a good enough reason.

And yes, you are quite right stressing that I am unable to recommend any decent etymological dictionary.

Here (http://starling.rinet.ru/cgi-bin/response.cgi?root=/usr/local/share/starling/morpho&morpho=1&basename=\usr\local\share\starling\morpho\vasmer\vasmer&first=1) is a link to on-line Fasmer's dictionary.

Here (http://fire.prohosting.com/psybox/) you can download this dictionary.

One of the best russian ethymological dictionaries is Fasmer's dictionary М. Фасмер
Этимологический словарь русского языка (http://www.ozon.ru/?from=yandexmarket&context=detail&id=1511686). You can buy it on-line or in many U.S. cities at russian book stores.

Here is a list of the main Russian ethymological dictionaries http://slovari.gramota.ru/sl_tales.html?sl_id=214

I would agree with the opinion that Fasmer's dictionary is the best.

The online version of Vasmer's etymological dicionary is here (http://starling.rinet.ru/cgi-bin/response.cgi?root=/usr/local/share/starling/morpho&morpho=1&basename=\usr\local\share\starling\morpho\vasmer\vasmer). Queries may be made here (http://starling.rinet.ru/cgi-bin/query.cgi?root=/usr/local/share/starling/morpho&morpho=1&basename=\usr\local\share\starling\morpho\vasmer\vasmer).
(Vasmer is pronounced as "Fasmer")

The Soviet edition of Vasmer's dictionary is indeed a must-have, but it should be completed by Chernykh's one
Черных П. Я., Историко-этимологический словарь современного русского языка, Москва, изд. Русский язык (especially for more recent loan words; edition post mortem, many words are missing).
