Re: [tied] Re: Help_needed_sanskrit

Thank you very much.

Here is the actual problem:

Among the epithets used with gr. "kle/os", there is
one a)e/naon "ever flowing" that is used two times
before 5th c., once in Heraclitus, and once in
Simonides. (Heraclitus being the first occurence).
Afterwards this adjective has been used rarely, and
almost exclusively for the water (in Greek). So, I was
wandering if there was an parallele in onomasiology in
Skt. or elswhere in indoeuropean lang. family before
5th century.
