Abstract

The name of Khotan (Old Khotanese hvatana-) is attested in Chinese, Niya Prakrit, Tibetan, Sogdian, and Old Uyghur. Strangely, the name has not previously been identified in Tocharian and Bactrian. This paper argues that a form of the name of Khotan is actually attested in Tocharian A and B and was borrowed from native speakers of Pre- or Old Khotanese. Moreover, the Bactrian documents may have preserved a form of the name of Khotan as well. The analysis of the newly identified forms enables a fresh examination of the borrowing directions of the name of Khotan in the Tarim Basin and beyond and allows several historical and linguistic conclusions.

《于阗王调》

于阗这个名字(古于阗语hvatana-)在汉语、尼雅梵语、藏语、粟特语和古维吾尔语中都有记载。奇怪的是，这个名字在吐火罗语和大夏语中并没有被确定。本文认为，于阗的一种名称形式实际上是在吐火罗语a和B中得到证实的，并且是从以前或古于阗语为母语的人那里借来的。此外，大夏文献也可能保留了于阗名称的一种形式。对新发现形式的分析使于阗名称在塔里木盆地及其他地区的借用方向有了新的考察，并得出了一些历史和语言学的结论。

期刊介绍： The American Oriental Society is the oldest learned society in the United States devoted to a particular field of scholarship. The Society was founded in 1842, preceded only by such distinguished organizations of general scope as the American Philosophical Society (1743), the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1780), and the American Antiquarian Society (1812). From the beginning its aims have been humanistic. The encouragement of basic research in the languages and literatures of Asia has always been central in its tradition. This tradition has come to include such subjects as philology, literary criticism, textual criticism, paleography, epigraphy, linguistics, biography, archaeology, and the history of the intellectual and imaginative aspects of Oriental civilizations.
