Iranica mutuata. IV. Zur persischen Bezeichnung von Stahl
The paper deals with the etymology of NP pōlād “steel” suggested by Ernst Herzfeld more than seventy years ago, but overlooked both by his contemporaries and by the following generations of scholars. Some slight emendations are proposed to Herzfeld’s reconstruction of the stages of borrowing from Middle Indian into Old Persian, without, however, diminishing his role as trailblazer
Bezeichnungen von Wurfwaffen im Iranischen. II. Iranica mutuata. III
The rare Pahlavi word “sling”, which, in particular, renders Avestan fradaxšanā - “id.” in V 14.9, 17.9, 17.10 and P 20, has until now defied etymological explanation. As early as 1889, Paul Horn compared Pahlavi “sling” with New Indian gophan “id.”, but this proposal was neglected by scholars, as was often the case with Horn’s ideas. In the present paper, Horn’s suggestion is rehabilitated with some corrections: the spelling of Pahlavi is recons…
Bezeichnungen von Wurfwaffen und Belagerungsgeschützen im Iranischen I
The paper focuses on two words of obscure etymology occurring in the Pahlavi text of presumably Parthian origin Draxt ī asūrīg , namely and . For the former, numerous related forms in Classical Armenian, Old Georgian and New Persian are considered, and a new suggestion is made as regards the ultimate, i. e. Old Iranian, etymology of the term and the way by which it entered Middle West Iranian, as well as in respect of a subgroup of the forms disc…
Über zwei Akkadismen im Iranischen
The paper deals with two Middle West-Iranian lexemes, namely ‘copy, replica’ and ‘contract’, borrowed into some adjacent languages, such as Classical Armenian and Aramaic. The existing explanations are reviewed, and a new etymology for either word is suggested on the basis of Akkadian source forms, namely šiknu(m) ‘original’ and šiṭru(m) ‘written document’ respectively, built in the same Iranian morphological pattern. For the first lexeme the tra…
Note on the Modes of Transliteration of Avestan in Pahlavi
Le present article est compose en deux sections, l'une et l'autre etant consacrees aux particularites phonologiques de la traduction pehlevie de l'Avesta. Dans la premiere section sont elucides quelques-uns des problemes de la technique de translitteration des mots avestiques en pehlevi. A titre d'exemple concret sont examines les equivalents pehlevis des mots avestiques contenant le grapheme β. Dans la deuxieme section est consideree une questio…
Passive Perfect Construction in the Pahlavi Text Stāyi n ī sīh rōzāg
L'article est consacre a une construction syntaxique moyen-perse particuliere (le verbe du subordonne est au present, celui de la principale est exprime par un participe passe), qui se rencontre a plusieurs reprises dans le texte pehievi Stayisn īsīh rōz.āg. Apres avoir etabli son affinite avec la construction depuis longtemps discutee dād bawēd, on propose une hypothese selon laquelle le systeme verbal du moyen-perse etait a son stade initial ba…
On the etymology of Middle Persian baškuč (winged monster)
L'article est consacre a la serie des noms designant le griffon ou aigle gigantesque en moyen-perse (pehlevi et manicheen), en armenien, en georgien, en ossete et en arameen talmudique. Le prototype peut reconstruit comme *pasku(n)c. Apres avoir passe en revue les opinions des savants sur sa provenance et son etymologie, l'article propose une nouvelle explication faisant deriver le moyen-perse *pasku(n)c soit de l'ancien iranien *sku(n)- etre sag…
On the Structure of the Zoroastrian Month
The structure of the Zoroastrian month that has found expression in such texts as the Smaller and Greater Siroza, Yasna 16: 3-6, Greater Bundahisn 1: 58; 3: 2 and StayisnS i Rozag 1 did not escape attention of the scholars, who viewed some of its features as traces of influence of an enigmatical trend in the Iranian religion such as Zurvanism. As early as in 1931, H. S. Nyberg suggested that the Zoroastrian month owed its quadripartite division t…
