Final -Y in Non-Manichaean Parthian and the Proto-Parthian 'Rhytmic Law' - Paperback

by J. Ferrer-Losilla (Author)

English summary: This work traces the uses of the so-called "final -y" in Inscriptional Parthian, and provides the distributional rules that govern its presence or absence in certain words. Following the introduction, the bulk of this study consists of three main headings involving, firstly, the presentation of the Aramaeographic forms and the words outside the nominal inflexion, secondly, the classification of the nominal forms in connection with the final -y and, finally, a feasible history of the Parthian nominal inflection. French description: Cet ouvrage offre une description de l'usage du -y final en parthe epigraphique et presente les regles de distribution regissant la presence ou l'absence de ce signe dans certains mots. Apres une introduction, une presentation des formes heterographiques et des mots qui ne font pas partie de la declinaison, deux grandes parties composent cette etude: d'une part, la classification des formes nominales dans leur relation avec le -y final et, d'autre part, la proposition d'une histoire de la declinaison nominale du parthe.
