CONTRIBUTIONS TO AVESTAN SYNTAX. 553 



junctive two, Imperative two ; Injunctive in the Protasis, and 

 Injunctive in the Apodosis four, Subjunctive in the Apodosis 

 one. Anticipatory Conditions with Subjunctive in the Apodosis 

 fourteen. Indicative seven. Optative seven. Injunctive four, no 

 finite verb one. Possible conditions with Optative in the Apo- 

 dosis three. Indicative one. Subjunctive five. Unfulfilled Condi- 

 tions with Optative in the Apodosis two. Subjunctive one. Con- 

 ditional sentences with no finite verb in the Protasis have in the 

 Apodosis the Indicative once, the Subjunctive twice, the Opta- 

 tive once, and the Imperative once. The single instance of a 

 condition without an introductory conditional particle has the In- 

 dicative in both clauses. 



The relative frequency of the moods in Protasis and Apodosis 

 is as follows : Indicative, Protasis, twenty-three ; Apodosis, 

 twenty. Subjunctive, Protasis, thirty-three ; Apodosis, twenty- 

 nine ; Optative, Protasis, twelve; Apodosis, fifteen. Injunctive, 

 Protasis, five ; Apodosis, ten. Imperative, Apodosis, three ; no 

 finite verb. Protasis, five ; Apodosis, one. 



Examples from the Gathas are lacking only for the type Sub- 

 junctive -\- omitted verb, and Optative -f Indicative. I am not 

 able to quote at present a Gathic example of the Unfulfilled Con- 

 dition.
