  abstract  = {The paper argues that a) Germanic *tauf/ƀra- (Germ. Zauber, etc.) is related to a root PIE *deu̯p- 'beat; make a hollow sound, resound' found in Greek δοῦπος 'thud', etc., b) Greek φάρμακον goes back to the root PIE *gʷʰer- 'heat' (Gk. θερμός, etc.) implying healing by fomentation, and c) Armenian hiwand 'sick', borrowed from Iranian, to PIE *sh₂ei̯- 'bind' relying on the notion of disease as a supernatural bond.},
