[INDOLOGY] Bloch on the nominal sentence in Skt

[Jan E.M. Houben]

In fact, Meillet's and Bloch's articles are together Fasc. I in this
Tome XIV of M.S.L.

The linguists Meillet and Bloch already write sanskrit with -k- , but in
the same Tome XIV -- yes, it is in archive.org, but I did not download it
as it was erroneously noted that it had been published in 1990 -- V. Henry
and S. Lévi write sanscrit with -c-. The -k- is linguistically an
improvement (otherwise, to be consistent, one should also have crishna, for
instance), but perhaps no scholar (French or English) has tried to give a
more scientific representation of -ri- as -ṛ-, which would make the
language name indeed quite clumsy.

The same volume contains a few remarks according to which Sanskrit was an
evolving language, actively used and spoken: first by J Bloch at the end of
his article on the nominal sentence, next by Albert Cuny (another student
of A. Meillet) in his study on the preverbs in the  Śatapatha-brāhmaṇa (for
this point also referring to S. Lévi's study on the preverbs according to
Pāṇini in the same Tome XIV).
