Mutation in Gaulish
[Despite the paucity of material, and notwithstanding the conflicting evidence, it would appear that Gaulish possessed a system of mutation like that of the other Celtic languages; and that this system resembled the Brythonic rather than the Goidelic. Certain analogous phenomena occur in French (and Engadine); but whether these are Gaulish survivals is a question, rather, for Romance scholars.]

Yasna LVII: An Essay in Text-Reconstruction
THE AVESTA as we possess it is a collection made at the command of the first Sasdnian monarch, Ardashir I (224/6-241), of fragments gathered at the order of the Arsakid Valagash (Volagases) which had survived the destruction of the original documents during the invasion of Alexander the Great (Dinkart, iv, 23-26, tr. E. W. West, SBE xxxvii, Oxford, 1892, pp. 413-414). This Arsakid was probably Volagases I (51-77/8) (J. Darmesteter, Le ZendAvesta …

The “Ahurian” and “Daevian” Vocabularies in the Avesta
Within the last quarter of a century two serious attempts have been made to explain the fact that the Avesta uses one set of words for beings belonging to the creation of Ahura Mazda and another for those formed by Aura Mainyu. The former of these theories was advanced by Leo Frachtenberg (“Etymological Studies in Ormazdian and Ahrimanian Words in Avestan,” in Spiegel Memorial Volume , Bombay, 1908, pp. 269–89), and the latter by Hermann Güntert …

On Certain Persian and Armenian Month-Names as Influenced by the Avesta Calendar
This study (16 pdf pages) by the Iranist and historian Louis H. Gray was published in the Journal of the American Oriental Society 28(1907), pp. 331-344. While the focus is on the ancient Iranian/Zoroastrian and Armenian calendars, information is also provided about month names in calendars from Cappadocia in Asia Minor to Sogdia and Chorasmia in the east. This fascinating study demonstrates, among other things, the underlying unity of the entire…

Contributions to Avestan Syntax, the Subordinate Clause
A STUDY of the subordinate clause in Avestan is important for the syntax of Indo-Germanic as well as of Indo-Iranian, since Avestan, Old Persian, Sanskrit, and Greek are the only dialects which have preserved the primitive distinction between the sub.junctive and the optative, the chief moods of the subordinate clause. In view of previous contributions' to this subject, I shall confine myself to temporal, causal, characteristic, and final clauses…

Contributions to Avestan Syntax, the Preterite Tenses of the Indicative
THE question of the signification of the past tenses of the indicative in the Avesta is one of the most important in the study of the syntax of the sacred language of Iran.' The distinctions between the imperfect, the aorist, and the perfect must be examined and the results of the investigation must ever be kept in mind if the full meaning of the Avesta texts is to be won. The force of the tenses of the Avestan has twice been made the subject of …

On the Etymology of ΤΡΑΓΩΙΔΙΑ
In the course of the preparation of the introductory article on ‘Drama’ for Hastings Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics , my attention was directed, not only to the problem of the origin of this type of drama, but also to the basal meaning of the Greek term . It need scarcely be said that the rise of tragedy is almost universally connected with the cult of Dionysos (for the most recent exponents of this theory see Miss Harrison, Prolegomena to …

Another Possible Instance of ζ = j
The fact that Greek ζ = Indo-European j in the words ζειαί, ζέω, ζ⋯λος, ζόρξ, ζυγόν, , and ζωρός may be regarded as fairly well established (Boisacq, Dictionnaire étymologique de la langue grecque , 307, 309, 196 sq., 311 sq.; cf. also Berneker, Slavisches etymologisches Wörterbuch , i. 447 sq.; most recent bibliography in Brugmann, Griechische Grammatik , 4 151 sq.), despite the counter-arguments of Sommer ( Griechische Lautstudien , 137–160; cf…

Some Recent Studies on the Iranian Religions
It is curious, and perhaps significant, that the two most important volumes on the Iranian religions which have appeared within the last decade should have been written by scholars who were not professed Iranists. Professor James Hope Moulton, the author of the Hibbert Lectures on Early Zoroastrianism (London, 1913), was a theologian and a hellenist; Professor Raffaele Pettazzoni, who has just given us his La Religione di Zarathustra (Bologna, 19…
The Indian God Dhanvantari
ALTHOUGH DHANVANTARI is a deity of minor rank and importance, he merits somewhat detailed consideration since he is the only real Indian god of healing. The earliest known allusion to him appears to be Kaus'ika Sitra 74. 6, which prescribes that a portion of the daily offering (baliharana) be placed the water-holder for Dhanvantari, [? Cloud-] Ocean, Herbs, Trees, Sky, and Earth (udadhdne dhanvantaraye samudrdyausadhivanaspatibhyo dyavaprthivtbhy…
