Achaemenid Elamite Grammar: Part I: Introduction, Phonology and Morphology

The Achaemenid Elamite language is so different from the earlier periods of Elamite that it necessitates and deserves to write an independent grammar as H. Paper did about sixty years ago. The present paper is an independent grammar of this language based on Achaemenid royal inscriptions and Achaemenid administrative tablets. The present paper deals with the phonology and morphology of Achaemenid Elamite. The other parts of the grammar will be published in a separate article.
