Neveštegān (10)

In the tenth issue of “Neveštegān”, we first point to the presence of two previously unknown forms of Persian verbal endings in early texts. We then expand on the author’s discussion of Middle Persian ka remnants in New Persian by presenting additional examples and providing a correct explanation for the phrase “kaẟ” in the Šunqušī translation-commentary. The third section examines a term from The Judaeo-Persian London Pentateuch, correcting a previous interpretation of this word. In the final section, we discuss a graphic symbol in ancient Persian financial documents and provide evidence for the description of a similar symbol in an early verse.
