Old Avestan, like other Old Indo-Iranian languages, appears to attest a variety of nouns and adjectives that display "verbal" government of accusative case "objects." However the existence of such "transitive" nominals is problematic from a formal linguistic perspective, and indeed some formal linguistic models have denied their existence. In this paper I reconsider both the formal arguments concerning transitive nominals and the Old Avestan evidence, with the aim of establishing a more precise analysis of this aspect of Old Avestan syntax
