page 150 note 1 These numbers make no claim to absolute accuracy, but it is hoped that they are close enough to truth for all practical purposes. They refer to the non-Mantra material alone.

page 152 note 1 In some of these cases Speyer, , Vedische und Sanskrit Syntax, pp. 88, 89,Google Scholar sees attraction. But there is no reason to deny the true conditional force in any example which he cites. As will be seen below, the protasis may also contain a “generic” optative.

page 152 note 2 I treat together the optative in ordinary relative and comparative clauses, as the mood is governed by the same principles in both; cf. Monro, , Homeric Grammar 2, p. 258.Google Scholar See also Delbrück, , op. cit., v, 339, 348, 350,Google Scholar etc.; my Aitareya Āraṇyaka, pp. 242, 247.Google Scholar

The use of the optative in relative clauses in definitions becomes normal in Epic style, e.g. Mbh., viii, 69, 57.Google Scholar

page 154 note 1 Nor, indeed, is it any reasonable Sanskrit (except, as in agachat in xi, 2, cited above, in the sense “let him give the rope which he actually once reached”). Classical Sanskrit (see Pāṇini, iii, 3, 135) requires the use of the aorist to denote frequent or customary action.Google Scholar
