The t e x t s are arranged in groups, according to their subjects; inside the gronps the easier texts come first.

In order to save space reference is frequently made to my Avesta primer (Awestisches Elementarbuch) which gives fuller information in the paragraph (§) indicated. The glossary is kept within very narrow limits and supplies only thos
