The following is a table of the many of most fundamental Proto-Indo-European language (PIE) words and roots, with their cognates in all of the major families of descendants. The following conventions are used:

Notes
- Cognates are in general given in the oldest well-documented language of each family, although we give forms in modern languages for families in which the older stages of the languages are poorly documented or do not differ significantly from the modern languages. In addition, modern English forms are given for comparison purposes.
- Nouns are given in their nominative case, with the genitive case supplied in parentheses when its stem differs from that of the nominative. (For some languages, especially Sanskrit, the basic stem is given in place of the nominative.)
- Verbs are given in their "dictionary form". The exact form given depends on the specific language:
- For the Germanic languages and for Welsh, the infinitive is given.
- For Latin (c. 100 BC) and the Balto-Slavic languages, the first-person singular present indicative is given, with the infinitive supplied in parentheses.
- For Greek (c. 400 BC), Old Irish (c. 800 AD), Armenian (c. 500 AD) and Albanian (modern), only the first-person singular present indicative is given.
- For Sanskrit (c. 1000 BC and later), Avestan (c. 500 BC or earlier), Old Persian (c. 600 BCE to 300 BCE), Parthian (248 BC-224 AD), the third-person singular present indicative is given.
- For Tocharian, the stem is given.
- For Hittite, either the third-person singular present indicative or the stem is given.
- In place of Latin, an Oscan (c. 100 BC) or Umbrian (c. 200 BC) cognate is occasionally given when no corresponding Latin cognate exists. Similarly, an Avestan (c. 500 BC?) cognate is occasionally supplied when no Sanskrit cognate exists, and a cognate from another Anatolian language (e.g. Luvian, c. 1400 BC; Lycian, c. 400 BC) may occasionally be given in place of or in addition to Hittite (c. 1400 BC).
- For Tocharian, both the Tocharian A (c. 800 AD) and Tocharian B (c. 800 AD) cognates are given whenever possible.
- For the Celtic languages, both Old Irish (c. 800 AD) and Welsh cognates are given when possible. For Welsh, normally the modern form is given, but occasionally the form from Old Welsh (c. 800 AD) is supplied when it is known and displays important features lost in the modern form. A Middle Irish (c. 1000 AD) cognate is given when the Old Irish form is unknown, and Gaulish (c. 0 AD), Cornish (?? c. 1200-1700 AD?) and/or Breton (modern) cognates may occasionally be given in place of or in addition to Welsh.
- For the Balto-Slavic languages, both Old Church Slavonic (c. 1000 AD) and Lithuanian (modern) cognates are given when possible. Similarly to the Celtic situation, Old Lithuanian (c. 1600 AD) forms may occasionally be given in place of modern Lithuanian; Latvian (modern) and/or Old Prussian (c. 1400 AD) forms may occasionally be given in place of or in addition to Lithuanian; and forms from modern Slavic languages or other Church Slavic dialects may occasionally be given in place of Old Church Slavonic.
- For English, a modern English cognate is given when it exists, along with the corresponding Old English (c. 1000 AD) form; otherwise, only an Old English form is given.
- For Gothic (c. 350 AD), a form in another Germanic language (Old Norse, c. 1200 AD; Old High German, c. 900 AD; or Middle High German, c. 1200 AD) is sometimes given in its place or in addition, when it reveals important features.

| Template:PIE "fire"<ref name="fire">It is unclear how the original PIE forms produced the attested daughter-language forms. After the loss of laryngeals, original Template:PIE would regularly produce Template:PIE. It is possible that this form was considered too strange-looking, with the result that the u vowel was borrowed from the second stem into the first, yielding Template:PIE. This compressed to Template:PIE, and this stem set, or its regularized version Template:PIE, might form the basis of the Umbrian, Greek and Armenian forms.
For Germanic, however, something else must be at work. Ringe (2006) suggests that the following sequence of events produced Gothic fōn: Collective péH₂wōr -> pH₂uṓr (cf. Tocharian B puwar) > puōr > Proto-Germanic fuwōr > fwōr > fōr -> fōn (using -n- from the oblique stem), where -> indicates a change due to analogy, while > indicates a regular sound change. His explanation of funins and fuïr is very tentative and complicated. Pokorny's suggestion for Germanic is rather different. He derives fōn from *fwōn, with no further derivation, but probably different from Ringe's. fuïr comes from *puweri, a locative that could be formed from a nominative *púwr̥ or possibly from a stem *pur-. It suffices to say that the processes involved are not well-understood.</ref> | fire (< OE fȳr < *fuïr<ref name="fire"/>) | fōn (funins)<ref name="fire"/> "fire"; OHG fuïr<ref name="fire"/> (two syllables) < Template:PIE | Umbrian pir "fire" < *pūr, acc. purom-e "into the fire" < *pur- | pũr (purós) "fire" | Czech pýř "glowing ash" | OPrus panno "fire" | hur (hroy) "fire" < *pū̆r-, hn-oc̣ "furnace" < *pū̆n- | A por, B puwar, puwār, pwār "fire" | paḫḫur "fire" | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
