Miṣṣa Suppletum

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  24 December 2009

Extract

In an earlier article I gathered up certain Indo-Iranian words to form a group connected with ‘seed’, ‘sowing’ and ‘planting’.

In Iranian these words were Avestan mīz- (Yasna 44.20), taken to mean ‘to sow (seeds)’, with the -ti- derivative mišti- in two passages of the later Avesta Yašt 5.120 and Yašt 7.4. Here in Yašt 7.4 mišti urvaranąm ‘with the sowing of seeds of plants’ was a striking phrase.

page 44 note 5 I had earlier, BSOAS, XIII, 1,1949, 122–3Google Scholar, tried to Bnd in this nxčyr the word nalcti– ‘night’, as Bartholomae had done previously, and had taken the form to be naxčhr, assuming the Turfan Mid. Pers. nhčyhr to contain -āihr from čiλra- ‘origin’. The –h– before –r– is absent in the many other forms of the word. With the discovery of nax ‘expanse’, the second component was clearly from čar– ‘range’. From čarya– would come čīr, later čīr. It is intended to give fuller details elsewhere.
