b. Subjunctive in the Apodosis. 



yt. 10. 19 (yAv. verse) : 



ahniai nacrndi iizjasditi 

 mid-ro gi anto upa-tbisto 

 yahmdi naemanqin ini&rd-dnixs 

 naeda mainyit paiti-pdite. 



' unto, that side shall Mithra proceed, angiy (and) displeased, 

 on which side (is) the Mithra-druj, neither shall he protect him- 

 self against the two spirits.' 



A similar Defective Condition having the Imperative in the 

 Apodosis is found in Rv. 1. 14. 8 : 



y~e yajatrd yd idyds tt te pibai'itii jilivdyd. 



' whosoever (are) to be honored or (are) to be praised, let 

 them drink with thy tongue.' 



A similar omission of the verb in the Protasis is very com- 

 mon in the younger Avestan when the Protasis is introduced by 

 the formula yesi noit ' otherwise.' This Avestan phenomenon 

 is precisely the same as the Greek usage with d ok p.rj. 



a. Subjunctive in the Apodosis. 



vd. 13. 31 (yAv. prose) : 



yezi noil spa avacd vd abdityo-xratiis pasuin vd navdin vd 

 raesydt para he irisinto racsjni cikayat baobo-var stake ci&aya. 



' otherwise the dog without giving voice or being mad shall 

 wound either beast or man. One shall atone for the wound of 

 the injured man with the atonement of a Baodha-varshta.' 



(Note the thematic Subjunctive cikaydl found as a variant 

 reading for the Subjunctive cikayat — Jackson, Av. Gramm. 

 § 551— in Kl. Mf 2.) 



b. Optative in the Apodosis. 



vd. 16. 2, 7 (yAv. prose) : 



yezi noit ndirika dtreni aizvi-vacndt yezi noit ndirika d&re ra- 

 oxhiq-n paiti-dioydt . . . yezi noit ndirika ninruidydt.
