Document Details : Title: Moyen-perse abāxtar 'planète' et axtar 'signe du zodiaque' Author(s): DUCHESNE-GUILLEMIN, Jacques Journal: Studia Iranica Volume: 24 Issue: 2 Date: 1995 Pages: 287-290 DOI: 10.2143/SI.24.2.2003976 Abstract : Middle-Persian apāxtar 'northern' and 'planet' preserves both meanings of Old Iranian apāñc 'being behind' and 'going backward'; and axtar 'sign of the Zodiac' appears to result from a false analysis of apāxtar. |
