Abstract

The subject of this seventh installment of “Notes on the Shahnameh” comprises brief observations on several topics: the dictionary Farhangvāra-yi Lugāt wa Tarkībāt-i ‛Arabī dar Shahnameh (Lexicon of Arabic Words and Expressions in the Shāhnāmeh); an analysis of the seemingly irregular verb form na-raftī in the hemistich “agar man na-raftī be Māzandarān”; a note on the proper name “Garjahān-gūsh”; a clarification of the adverb hamānā in the Shahnameh; and two observations on the hemistich “agar tund bādī bar-āyad ze kunj.”
