Language of the Snakes: Prakrit, Sanskrit, and the Language Order of Premodern India
Language of the Snakes traces the history of the Prakrit language as a literary phenomenon, starting from its cultivation in courts of the Deccan in the first centuries of the common era. Although little studied today, Prakrit was an important vector of the kāvya movement and once joined Sanskrit at the apex of classical Indian literary culture. The opposition between Prakrit and Sanskrit was at the center of an enduring "language order" in India, a set of ways of thinking about, naming, classifying, representing, and ultimately using languages. As a language of classical literature that nevertheless retained its associations with more demotic language practices, Prakrit both embodies major cultural tensions—between high and low, transregional and regional, cosmopolitan and vernacular—and provides a unique perspective onto the history of literature and culture in South Asia.

The rare Pahlavi word <k(w)pyn(')> "sling", which, in particular, renders Avestan fradaxšanā- "id." in V 14.9, 17.9, 17.10 and P 20, has until now defied etymological explanation. As early as 1889, Paul Horn compared Pahlavi <k(w)pyn(')> "sling" with New Indian gophan "id.", but this proposal was neglected by scholars, as was often the case with Horn's ideas. In the present paper, Horn's suggestion is rehabilitated with some corrections: the spelling of Pahlavi <k(w)pyn(')> is reconstructed as *kōpīn, and an additional instance of the phonetic transition Middle Indian -ChaC- → Middle West Iranian -CihC > -CīC, namely that took place with the borrowing of Manichaean Parthian <zyncyhr>, <zynjyhr> (*zenjihr) "chain, fessels", Pahlavi zncyl(k)/zenjīr(ag) "id." (> New Persian zanjīr "id.") from Prakrit siṅkhalā, is discussed.
