    abstract = "In this submission we propose an approach to encoding etymological information as strings ({``}etymology strings''). We begin by discussing the advantages of such an approach with respect to one in which etymologies and etymons are explicitly represented as RDF individuals. Next we give a formal description of the regular language underlying our approach as an Extended Backus-Naur Form grammar (EBNF). We use the Chamu{\c{c}}a Hindi lexicon as a test case for our approach and show some of the kinds of SPARQL queries which can be made using etymological strings."
