Tocharian languages In the 19th century, it was thought that the division between Centum and Satem languages was a simple west–east division, with centum languages in the west.
Tocharian languages The apparent self-designation "ārśi" appears in Tocharian A texts. Tocharian B texts use the adjective "kuśiññe", derived from "kuśi" or "kuči", a name also known from Chinese and Turkic documents. The historian Bernard Sergent compounded these names to coin an alternative term "Arśi-Kuči" for the family, recently revised to "Agni-Kuči", but this name has not achieved widespread usage.
Tocharian languages Tocharian A deletes all Proto-Tocharian final vowels, as well as all instances of Proto-Tocharian "ä" in open syllables (which appears to include vowels followed by "Cr" and "Cl" sequences). When this produces impossible consonant sequences, these are rectified by vocalizing "w" and "y" into "u" and "i", if possible; otherwise, an epenthetic "ä" is inserted. Note that most consonant sequences are tolerated word-initially, including unexpected cases like "rt-", "ys-" and "lks-". Example: PIE "h₁rudhros" (Greek "erythros") > PToch "rä́tre" > Toch A *"rtr" > "rtär".
Tocharian languages Tocharian has completely re-worked the nominal declension system of Proto-Indo-European. The only cases inherited from the proto-language are nominative, genitive, accusative, and (in Tocharian B only) vocative; in Tocharian the old accusative is known as the "oblique" case. In addition to these primary cases, however, each Tocharian language has six cases formed by the addition of an invariant suffix to the oblique case — although the set of six cases is not the same in each language, and the suffixes are largely non-cognate. For example, the Tocharian word ' (Toch B), ' (Toch A) "horse" < PIE "*eḱwos" is declined as follows:
Tocharian languages The optative and imperfect have related formations. The optative is generally built by adding "i" onto the subjunctive stem. Tocharian B likewise forms the imperfect by adding "i" onto the present indicative stem, while Tocharian A has 4 separate imperfect formations: usually "ā" is added to the subjunctive stem, but occasionally to the indicative stem, and sometimes either "ā" or "s" is added directly onto the root. The endings differ between the two languages: Tocharian A uses present endings for the optative and preterite endings for the imperfect, while Tocharian B uses the same endings for both, which are a combination of preterite and unique endings (the latter used in the singular active).
