Vedic Grammar

Summary: A must (for the brave student of the Rg-Veda)
Review: MacDonnell's Vedic Grammar is the classic reference book for the beginner and, indeed, for the advanced student of the Rg-Veda. It is traditionally arranged, covering phonology issues, accent, and morphology. The book thoroughly covers the nominal and the verbal systems, which may be especially confusing for the student. A separate chapter discussing sandhi is especially well written.

I recommend this book as the best Vedic grammar published in English , although it has its drawbacks - for example, some (more or less obscure) verbal forms do not appear. But, even with all the deficiences in mind, MacDonnell's book is still an excellent grammar, a must for anyone who wishes to study the Vedic language.
