(4.45) Linguistic Notes
yáhánaaheestáͅná'a 'they were sitting about inside'. yáhá 'inside' plus the 3rd person of naa-hi-...-táͅ 'several sit about' [si- perf. neut. intr.]. Is yáhá related to the prefix ya- of the verb ya-'i-|...[hi- perf.]-ghee 'to carry a burden inside' [act. tr.], the 3rd person perf. [with indef. obj.] of which occurs in the next line of this passage?
