There is no doubt of the ancientness of Skt. śváśura- and śvaśr- (= Lat. socer and socrus) and their general survival in Modern Indo-Aryan languages: see, e.g., Nepali Dictionary s.w. sasuro and sās. Concerning the earlier existence, however, of its vddhi-derivative, śvāśura-, as a substantive equivalent to OHG suagur, etc. (and so to be accented *śvāśurá-) strong doubt was expressed in Wackernagel-Debrunner, Altind. Gram., II, 2, § 34c
