## Description

We provide an archive containing automatically extracted cognate pairs and word-etymon pairs for Romanian words and five related languages: French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Turkish. We ran our experiments on the Romanian vocabulary provided by dexonline machine-readable dictionary (http://dexonline.ro). In "cognates" folder there is one file for each language L containing pairs of cognates shared between L and Romanian. In "etymons" folder there is one file for each language L containing word-etymon pairs for Romanian words having L etymology.
