Why do modern Indo-European languages have such long, compound,

>>3379283
None of those words are monosyllabic.
If you're asking about long words in general, blame it on english for loving short words so much.

>>3379283
I'm pretty sure all those words are modifications or combinations of shorter words.

>>3379283
>when reconstructed PIE words are short and simple, like Old Germanic

Hrōþiberhtaz
Raginaharduz
Þeudōberhtaz
ainahandijaz
fradailijaną
fradōmijaną

>>3379283
Most of those are compounds or look long because spelling rules or sound.

Chiacchiericchio would be "kiakierikio"

Ardhanarisvara= ardhan+ari+ishvara

And so on

>>3379283
>monosyllabic
I'm not sure you know what this word means.

It's a cycle all languages go thru, agglutinative - isolating - inflecting - back to agglutinative. IE is moving from inflecting to agglutinative just like Chinese is moving from isolating to inflecting, in a few hundred years people will be asking "why does Chinese have such long words?"

Chinks have it good, one syllable words. Ching chong ping pong.

>Ardhanarishvara
you can break it down, Ardha means half, nari mean female, feminine, creative energy depending on suffix related context, ishvara is lord, god or the universal consciousness, but in this context it is shiva. so it means Half-female shiva. As in the union of his wife parvati and himself into the ardhanari form.

No clue, i guess you will need to ask the deity after summoning them through intensive penance and oblations.

source?
seems like an interesting read

Summoning deities is even more foolish than summoning demons. Just stick to something safe like necromancy, the dead are powerless.
