page 75 note 1 The absorption of the functions of the subjunctive by the optative in later Sanskrit is a development parallel to that of Latin.
page 76 note 1 e.g. cadam ut crus frangam is logically distinct from redibo ut me purgem. The former is a direct expression of opinion as to possibility. The latter is a willed result, and the speaker is quoting himself.
