توضيحي درباره نقش نحويِ (در يشت 8 بند 8)

An Explanation on the Grammatical Case of the Zraii (Yt.8.8.)

مدت هاست Zraii Vouruka?aiia صورت مفرد مكاني ريشه Zraii و Vouruka?a- است. در اين مقاله نشان داده خواهد شد كه اين تبيين نادرست است و سپس بر اساس شواهد متعدد از متن اوستا تبيين ديگري براي آن پيشنهاد خواهد شد.

It has long been supposed that zraiia vouruka?aiia (in Yt.8.8) could be a locative singular form of the zraiiah- and vouruka?a- stems. I shall attempt to show here that this explanation is incorrect. There are, however, several good pieces of evidence in the above- mentioned Avestan text that lead us to propose another reasonable explanation on this grammatical issue.
