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).

Thanks to those who sent me a scan, I now know the same article appeared twice with a minute update.

The first date of publication as independent offprint (preprint) was 1906; later on it appeared again, apparently, as part of the Memoires of the Société Linguistique de Paris tome XIV for which 1906-1908 is given as publication date on the cover (the actual date may have been 1909; here the study of J Bloch appears as fasc. 2, after fasc. 1, which is the study by Bloch's teacher A. Meillet, on the nominal phrase in Indo-european).

The minute difference in the opening paragraph is:

1906: ce point a été établi par M. Meillet, M.S.L. , XIV , p . 1 et suiv. ...

1906-1908: ce point a été établi par M. Meillet dans l'article qui précède ...

With best regards,
