Ebook: On verbal accentuation in the Rigveda

New Haven: American Oriental Society, 1992. — 118 p.Klein wishes to refine certain observations we owe to Berthold Delbruck (1888), Hermann Oldenberg (1906), George Dunkel (1979, 1988), Heinrich Hettrich (1988), and others. He summarizes his views conveniently in section
14. Verbs are accented (a) in pada or sentence-initial position, (b) before id, (c) "intonationally," (d) in subordinate clauses, and (e) in clauses following sentence-initial eta (eto). Characteristically, he asks whether accented status of verb forms can be reduced "to one or a few underlying functions" (p. 85).
