A Suggestion for the Correction and Meaning a Few Verses of the Story of Rostam and Sohrab

The correction of the Shahnameh by Jalal Khaleghi Motlagh, Mahmoud Omid Salar and Abolfazl Khatibi, is one of the most trusted and cited corrections of the Shahnameh. In the previous corrections, there were some drawbacks that Khaleghi Motlagh and his team tried to minimize and resolve it in their work. However, their correction also has some shortcomings that can be addressed and corrected to make a better-edited text of the Shahnameh that can help researchers to have a more trustable source for further studies. Therefore, this question arises: which corrections of verses of the Shahnameh can be suggested by focusing on the exact meaning of some vocabulary and numerous authentic manuscripts? Accordingly, in the present study, regarding the authentic manuscripts and photographic prints of the Shahnameh manuscripts and its provided edits, as well as the reserch presented by the epic scholars in the field of Shahnameh in their books and articles, attempts have been made to suggest the correction and meaning in some of the verses of Rostam and Sohrab story. These suggestions are in accordance with the evidence presented in the Shahnameh including ‘Badandish’ in the meaning of ‘Apprehensive’ or ‘Suspicious’, ‘Khanbidan’ in the meaning of ‘Bend’ and ‘Ahoun’ in the meaning of ‘Tunnel’
