Altiranisches wörterbuch by 'Christian Bartholomae 

'Christian Bartholomae (1855-1925) was a German scholar of Iranian and Indo-European studies, focusing on Iranian linguistics and the place of Iranian among the Indo-European languages.

the Old Iranian texts = both the Avesta and the Old Persian inscriptions

com­bining the indigenous Indian Parsi tradition with both classical Western philological methods and those of comparative linguistics in the interpretation of the Avestan texts

In his Handbuch der altiranischen Dialekte (1883) he presented a more extensive and systematic comparative study of the phonology and morphology of the three old Indo­-Iranian or Aryan languages (Avestan, Old Persian, and Old Indo-Aryan)

phonological part of this study, in which Iranian forms were derived from the original common Indo-Iranian forms

In the succinct and concise “Vorgeschichte,” which is a detailed and precise comparative grammar of Old Iranian, he compared Old Iranian and Old Indo-­Aryan phonology and morphology in order to re­construct their common Indo-Iranian basis

Bartholomae’s Altiranisches Wörterbuch is to Old Iranian lexicography “one of the best and most complete dictionaries written of any language” [...] taking fully into consideration the tradition of the Parsi scholars

Each entry in this epochal dictionary is scrupulously exact and rests on intimate knowledge of Old Iranian. It specifies the language a word belongs to (j. = Young Avestan, g. = Gathic or Old Avestan, p. = Old Per­sian), then gives the forms and their meanings, all the attestations partly with translation, and in the notes discusses special questions of interpretation, etymology (briefly), the word’s later development, the Pahlavi and Sanskrit renderings of the word, and occasionally discusses points of textual criticism. The alphabetical arrangement is that of Sanskrit dictionaries (except that v precedes r) and ignores unetymological anaptyctic and epenthetic vowels and the like.

Kavya: Part 17; look for all the earlier ones too

Given a connected directed graph, a minimum spanning strong subdigraph is a subgraph that spans all the vertices, is strongly connected, and has the minimum possible sum of weights.

The problem of determining the minimum spanning strong subdigraph (MSSS) is NP-complete, by reduction from the Hamiltonian cycle problem: when the weight of every edge is 1, a graph with n vertices has a Hamiltonian cycle if and only if its MSSS has weight n.
