This paper argues for the derivation of the MI future suffix -hi- from the imper- atival ending -hi- (OI -dhi). While the traditional explanation of -hi- as a special outcome of -sya- does not hold from the point of view of historical phonology, the solution advanced here is capable of explaining both the formal and functional properties of the suffix.

This paper argues for the derivation of the MI future suffix -hi- from the imper- atival ending -hi- (OI -dhi). While the traditional explanation of -hi- as a special outcome of -sya- does not hold from the point of view of historical phonology, the solution advanced here is capable of explaining both the formal and functional properties of the suffix.File in questo prodotto:
