Note 10 — Chapter XXV · LANGUAGE

Reading edition

About the third kind of sacred language, I know very little. It will have been noticed that the words and sentences which are used in the legends of Chapter IX are unlike those which occur elsewhere, and I was especially told that certain words only occurred in the stories of the gods. A special instance given was that of the words “tar tûrzhoḍthrska” (see p. 201), where tar10 was said to be the teu word for ‘man.’ The words kwudrpedrshai and kaipedrshai in the same legend were given as other examples of teu language.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
