By the way, is the German abbreviation for it, KZ (pronounced

No.

KZ is "Kuhns Zeitung," the universally used nickname for the principal
journal of Indo-European philology, which was actually called
Zeitschrift für vergleichende Sprachforschung (a few years ago, it
changed its title slightly).

It's no-no to use the abbreviation KZ for anything in German. (Maybe Kuhns
Zeitung is an exception.)

Sorry, Zeitschrift, and you'll find it in every publication on
Indo-European over more than a century (I think it's in vol. 110 or so
now, and I think they started a N.F. 110 or so years ago, since it
existed in the 1870s.)
