Three Digoron notes

Abstract

In 1961 an extensive collection of Ossetic folklore was published in two volumes in Ordzhonikidze under the title ИронАдæмьι Сфæлдьιстад. The collection includes both Iron and Digoron material and a large section of volume one is devoted to texts from the Ossetic Nart Epos. Among the Digoron Nart texts there is a large number of words and phrases which are difficult to interpret. Three such cases are discussed below.
