On Alleged Anacolutha in Old Persian
tribute to the clarity, conciseness, and completeness of Kent's Old Persian,1 which I found most helpful and useful in my task of acquiring sufficient knowledge of the language to use it for comparative purposes in my syntactical studies.

Hittite genuš(š)uš, genuš(š)i, and pankuš(š)i
Waes Hrunting nama
There is a construction, ‘a man X in name’, with the word for ‘name’ apparently an accusative, which is met in a number of Indo-European languages, and with particular frequency in Hittite, Indo-Iranian, and Greek. The supposed accusative is regularly explained as an accusative of specification, and viewed as an inheritance from Indo-European. A few typical examples follow

The Non-Restrictive Relative in Hittite
[An earlier paper tried to prove on the basis of 390 Hittite examples that the relative kwis developed from the indefinite kwis. The present paper aims to show on the basis of the same 390 examples how the relative thus formed from the indefinite, at first used only in a restrictive or generalizing sense, eventually acquired also a non-restrictive or definite sense.]
The Origin of the Relative kwi- kwo
[Hittite evidence indicates that the relative kwi- kwo - is a development of the indefinite. In Hittite a subordinate relative clause can scarcely be distinguished from a coordinate indefinite clause. A typical sentence can mean either ‘some utensils are there, and these he picks up’ or ‘which utensils are there, these he picks up’. Six features that characterize the indefinite type are found to be present in an overwhelming majority of examples …
The Characters in the Eclogues
The Shift of a Hittite Conjunction from the Temporal to the Conditional Sphere
[Three early Hittite documents are studied for evidence on the shift of man from its original temporal use (in which it was later replaced by mahhan ) to its later conditional use (in which it replaced early takku ). In these documents man is the only temporal conjunction; both takku and man are conditional conjunctions. (Arguments are offered for so classing a number of instances in the Bilingue which Sommer regards as temporal.) The shift of ma…

Quintilian on Greek Letters Lacking in Latin and Latin Letters Lacking in Greek (12.10.27-29)
[Quintilian has been thought to say that Greek φ was transliterated by Latin f . This is quite out of line with the findings of linguistic scholars concerning his period. An attempt is made here to prove that Quintilian's testimony is really not incompatible with these findings, but that Latinists have misunderstood him as a result of faulty emendation and interpretation.]

The Indefinite-Relative-Interrogative Stem
[The indefinite-relative-interrogative stem recently recognized for Hittite is not mo - as has been thought but smo -, i.e. IE sem- sm -, already known as forming indefinites and the numeral ‘one’. From it are to be derived Hitt. sanas (cf. Gr. μόνος) and sa -; masis and masiyanki; -ma (perhaps seen in namma, nasma , and imma ), man , and mahhan , and their cognates, Skt. sma , Gr. μά, μέν, and μā́ν; Lat. - met and the particle * sme in case-form…
