The Suffixes Mant and Vant in Sanskrit and Avestan (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book offers a fascinating exploration of the Sanskrit and Avestan suffixes "mant" and "vant," examining their phonetic correlation and the evolution of their usage in both languages. The author delves into the historical development of these suffixes, tracing their origins back to Indo-European and their subsequent transformations within the Indo-Iranian language family. The book analyzes the rules governing their use with different stem types and analyzes how these rules changed over time, comparing the usage in the Vedas with that of Classical Sanskrit and the Avesta.
