BanjidanAncient and antiquated infinitive in Shahnameh

In Bahram Gur and Lonbak, the water seller tale there is an episode where Lonbak stands to receive Bahram.  Right after this scene there is a couplet.  With respect to the records found in different manuscripts of Shahnameh and one or two such parallels, probably the right form of the verb in the second hemistich is Bebanjid.  This verb is a derivative of the infinitive “Banjidan” which means to divide, and cut into pieces. The present mode stem used to make this false or secondary infinitive may be the second present mode stem of the infinitive “Bakhtan” in Pahlavi in which case banj is taken from the root baj which means to divide and to give so that the meaning of the couplet considering the deductive edition will be as follows:  Bahram divided the food Lonbak offered him into two or three parts and put them of the table.
