To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

1. 13. Had we these passages only, we should not venture to derive from them any such principle ; but, having well established it as a tendency of the language to assume, even on slight occasion, an antithetical relation, and to accent accordingly, we are justified in presuming its extension to these cases also.
We have thus far found all the phenomena of verbal ac- centuation of which we have taken note to be occasioned, more or less regularly and directly, by the working of a single principle
... ; that, namely, the verb in an independent clause is accented only when occupying the initial position, being otherwise made enclitic upon any member of the same clause by which it is preceded ; while, on the other hand, it maintains in a dependent clause its own proper accent. But there are in the Atharvan a number of instances of accented, verbs, which do hot seem to fall so clearly within the sphere of action of this principle : either they are the effect of a wholly irregular extension of it beyond its proper limits, or they are due to the operation of some other principle, which needs to be evolved and stated, or they are isolated cases, destitute of all analogies, and on that account of doubtful authenticity.
