 * Jberkel, the letters are put from left to right, while it should be RTL. I remember other users such as Vahag were also experiencing this problem while trying to view Avestan writings. --Z 10:41, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * better? Text-ae-mazdaiiasna_2.png – Jberkel (talk) 12:00, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah it's correct now. --Z 12:21, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Interesting. This was the first output of my script, but it didn't match the rendering in my browser (Chrome/OSX), so I assumed it was wrong. I just verified with Safari and it is displayed correctly there, something's wrong with Chrome. – Jberkel (talk) 12:34, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

"Sanskrit" majdaīasni

 * I'm trying to clear out Category:Sanskrit terms needing native script, but I can't add a native script for "majdaīasni" because it isn't a possible word of Sanskrit (which doesn't allow adjacent vowels). Nyberg 130b doesn't exactly say it's Sanskrit; it says "Skr. v. majdaīasni" which suggests that the Sanskrit word is based on the Pahlavi form majdaīasni. Mazda is called Medhā in Sanskrit, so the form used in the Sanskrit translation of Menog-i Khrad is probably based on that. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 13:41, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * "Skr. v." means "Sanskrit version". The word may be bastard Sanskrit but it is attested in Devanagari in a running Sanskrit text. See here for an attestation, 7th line from the bottom. --Vahag (talk) 14:49, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Here is another attestation. Someone needs to look at the actual manuscripts to see what spelling was used. It could have been an ad hoc creation by the scribe. --Vahag (talk) 15:27, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
