Hello Joseph and list,
A quick note to your two recent queries to the Indology List:
1. I have read the 1954 Renou article 25-30 years ago, and I have a photocopy of it in a file somewhere. Unfortunately, I can't find it right now, because most of my photocopies and offprints are stored away in a storage unit and I can't find individual papers right now. However, I can say this: the most important paper that Renou wrote on les pouvoirs de la parole dans le RV is in his EVP 1 [1955]. There is, I think, nothing in the 1954 paper that is not also included in the 1955 paper, which is more developed and clearer. The 1955 paper in EVP 1 is one of Renou's most important papers when it comes to the RV. Nevertheless, if you are interested in the development of Renou's thoughts on this issue, I can make some effort to find the earlier paper if you wish.
2. Just to let you know that Hauer's book is also available as a print-on-demand book. I orefer books to pdf's because I like to be able to read them anywhere, and I like to make notes in my books.
If you want information on how to order the print-on-demand book [warning: not at all a high quality reprint, but legible, let me know off-list].
My best to you and to the List.
George Thompson
