In this short paper I examine the lexical isoglosses connecting Tocharian, Italic and Celtic, in particular, in the field of legal and religious lexicon. I find that these are largely non-existent. This finding may shed light on the question of supposed archaisms of the legal and religious lexicon preserved uniquely in Italic and/or Celtic in the West and Indo-Iranian in the East.

This paper argues that the variation found in the gerundives across and within the Tocharian languages is best explained by assuming that Tocharian inherited two suffixes *-lo- and *-lii̯o-. In the prehistory of Tocharian these suffixes stood in a derivational relationship typical for Indo-European gerundive formations. It is shown that the various forms of the gerundive in Tocharian B and the divergence between the two Tocharian languages concerning the paradigm of the gerundive can best be explained by a conflation of *-lo- and -lii̯o- that followed the collapse of masculine and neuter in the prehistory of Tocharian.
