Abstract

Encountering the words Khavar and Bakhtar (East and West respectively) in many of the old Persian texts from the fourth to seventh century on lunar calendar, two-fold or even three-fold meanings are associated in mind in a way that inferring the meaning of each word in regard to which direction it is referring to becomes a hard task without using context and discourse. Even the meanings of the words based on the context are not suggestive of which direction they are referring to. In the present study, the researcher first consulted reliable dictionaries for the definitions and explanations of the words and then presented and analyzed comments by scholars such as Kasravi, Sahidi, Kazazi. In the main body of the research, ‘whyness’ and ‘howness’ of this transformation and change were investigated and examples were presented for the purpose of providing a cogent argument. One of the reasons achieved in this study to broach this issue is that these two words are suggestive of directions which in themselves have relative aspects due to the circularity of the Earth, and thus were used with opposing meanings in different contexts and periods and by various language users. This issue was influenced by the congruence of titles of territories and meanings of directions in different eras.
