Excerpt from An Avesta Grammar in Comparison With Sanskrit, Vol. 1 In the Grammar it might have been easier and more practical in many respects to use the Avesta type itself instead of employing a transcription. On the whole, how ever, it seemed best under the circumstances to transliterate. For general reference at present this method appears more convenient, and is useful in showing grammatical fort'na tions. The original type, it is-expected, will be employed, as hinted above, in a little book Avesta for Beginners, planned for a date not far distant.
