Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

This book concerns the oldest layers of loanwords in Tocharian, namely BMAC and Old Steppe Iranian loanwords, and it reconstructs the features of the Old Iranian language in contact with Tocharian, as well as a second variety of the BMAC language.
MoreLong description:
"How did the Tocharians reach China?" "Who did they meet on the way?? are some of the most intriguing questions in Indo-European studies. This book is zooming in on a specific part of the question: on their way to China, Tocharians were in contact with an Iranian people living in the south Siberian Steppes, and with a people related to the Oxus Civilization (BMAC). This Iranian people spoke a specific language, called here ?Old Steppe Iranian?. They gave Tocharians many words, such as ma?iye ?servant?, etswe ?burden-carrying horse? or ?mule?, p?ke ?portion, share?. The BMAC-related people gave the Tocharians other words such as etre ?hero? and kercapo ?donkey?. This book reconstructs features of the language of both these peoples, and examines how they influenced the Tocharians. Based on the latest archaeological findings, it also suggests a reconstruction of the chronology and the way the Tocharians followed before entering the Tarim Basin.
