Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The American Journal of Philology, Vol. 21
The inscriptions of the Anc. Pers. Show a rather frequent confusion in their employment of s and 6, and of z and d. An attempt is here made to decide whether this confusion is due to dialectic differences or to a phonetic coincidence in the Anc. Pers. Of s and a, and of z and d. The material o?'ered by the inscrip tions has been given as completely as possible, and it has been done independently either of Hiibschmann or of Foy, to both of whom, however, I have been frequently indebted otherwise, as will appear in my citations below. The somewhat analogous case of the representation in Anc. Pers. Of Iranian 3? By s) or 5 also ails for attention, and it may be most conveniently discussed after a treatment of s and z.
