I am aggrieved to bring sad news: Today my old friend Johanna Narten has passed away.
Among Indologists, Iranists and Indo-Europeanists, she is well remembered for her work on the Indo-European and Skt. verbal system, for example the s-Aorist; on Zoroaster’s Yasna Haptanhaiti, and the Amesha Spentas in the Avesta.
More news to follow.
