Note 46 — Chapter I · THE PATRIARCHAL THEORY
Reading edition
Delbrück, "Das Mutterrecht bei den Indogermanen," Preussiche Jahrbücher, XCVI, 14-27, a clear summary of the results of recent research. Cf. his Die Indogermanischen Verwandtschaftsnamen (Leipzig, 1889). According to Hellwald, Die mensch. Familie, 453-80, especially 459, 460, patriarchalism was fully established at the earliest dawn of Indic history; but there are nevertheless traces of earlier mother-right.
