Word

[edit]

Alright, so Avestan has terms which need an earlier form *bʰiš- to exist, per Cheung and Lubotsky. The question is whether this (*bʰiš-) will be a noun or a root. For now, I have added this as a root because:

  • There are adjectives, nouns, verbs and verb roots derived from this term
  • Adding it as a noun would need us to state its accent and gender. Can't get too speculative. If someone wants to source and add info about the accent and the gender, I am open to classifying this as a noun. -- Bhagadatta (talk) 02:49, 10 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
