Abstract

This study presents the reflection of a Dialectal feature in a hemistich of Shahnameh. The hemistich, which reads “ Be Abe Do Dideh Nabayad Gerist” (گریست نباید دیده دو آب به, (appears in the Tragedy of Rostam and Sohrab, the mythological father and son in Shahnameh. Most of Shahnameh researchers have not been able to offer an interpretation for this hemistich. Still some other interpretations are not acceptable. The findings of this study show that the difficulty of this hemistich stems from the use of the Persian word “ be” (به (meaning “ rare” and “ hard-to-find” . The explanation is that this morpheme is not associated with the preposition “ be” (به (in Modern Persian (meaning with or to), which is derived from Mid-Persian “ pad” . In fact, it is the Dialectal variant of “ abē ” in Mid-Persian, which is an equivalent of “ bi” or “ bedune” (meaning without). Thus, the figurative meaning of the phrase “ Be Abe Do Dideh Geristan” (crying without tears) is “ becoming helpless and despaired” . Moreover, this hemistich is taken from a local idiom, which is still used in the same sense as is used in Shahnameh. The idiom has survived in the form of two phonetic variants, namely “ be ow dida girya kadan” and “ be â w dida č ixrâ mukuna” in some Khorasani Dialects. The Dialectal data used in this study were collected through field research and by means of Dialectal descriptions.
