Since one can recognize the diversity of the graphic and formal
variants of Elamite words and names with particular clearness in
the renderings of the Old Persian month-names, the present book
makes an attempt to study the questions concerning the relations
between the Elamite spellings and the Old Iranian original forms
for that group of words in a systematic way. They are suitable for
such an examination in an absolutely perfect manner owing to the
frequency of the attestations and to the great number of the
graphic and formal variants, not least, however, owing to the
established identity of content, too. Here one has to take into
consideration also the references of the Old Persian forms
themselves, which together with the forms attested in Elamite shape
must be studied in the greatest possible detail as regards
phonology and morphology, but also dialectology and etymology. Two
particular results are of some interest: On the one hand several of
those month-names can be understood only as being derived from the
name of some festival; and on the other hand about half of them
show reflexes also of non-Persian dialectal forms, so that we have
to conclude that these so-called Old Persian month-names were known
also to other Iranian tribes apart from the Persians. Extensive
indexes make the many formal details discussed here accessible to
the reader.
