here is by far one of the most addictive sites on the internet. Sergey Starostin was one of the greatest linguists of his day and worked extensively in the reconstruction of a number of proto-languages. This site offers a vast interwoven database of languages and etymologies. I have had hours of nerdy fun here, including finding that the Mongolian word for a young girl (ohin) is cognate with the Latin for a wife (uxor - whence uxorious)...joy of joys!
