This paper describes the terminology collected from a traditional Persian grammar, Taleqani's 'Osul-e Dastur-e Zaban-e Farsi, which I have criticized once before, pointing out several characteristic features of his grammar. The terminology used in his grammar supposedly reflects his own, that is, Iranian's own point of view for their mother tongue; Persian. The 'Osul-e Dastur-e Zaban-e Farsi consists of 6 parts. In this paper the terminology is taken from the part 1 which treats the parts of speech and morphology in Persian. It is well known that the Persian grammar, in general, is first modeled on the Arabian grammar. And the terminology itself also seems to have been affected by the Arabian. Though some of those words are refered to in the NOTES below, I left this issue untouched for further investigation. In this paper, firstly some brief account and comments for the chapter of the Indeclinable of part 1 of Teieqani's 'Osul will be mentioned, since I did not treat it in the previous paper. The indeclinables are; adverbs (qeyd), prepositions (harf-e 'ezafe), conjunctions (harf-e rabt) and interjections ('asvat). And then the terminology will be arranged and explained by an alphabetical order in Persian. In this glossary all the Persian words or phrases are transcribed, not transliterated.

Nouruz, the new year festival, is one of the most important and famous festival in Iran. It is said that Nouruz originated with Jamshid. According to Nouruz Nameh attributed to 'Omar Khaiyam, at that day he found the sun entered into the Aries, which is the sign of the equinox, then he held the festival and called the day “Nouruz”. After the model of Jamshid, Iranian kings had continued to celebrate this festival on the first day of Farvardin; it flourished specially in the Sasanian period.
In those days they adopted a 365-day calendar and used to ignore the intercalation. As a result a quarter of the day had been lost annually and the whole year had slipped steadily backward. It had distressed people, as they were obliged to pay tax at Nouruz. In the eleventh century, in order to help them, Malekshah enacted a new calender and Nouruz was fixed on 21th of March, the first of Farvardin in this calendar. Since then Iranian people has celebrated Nouruz on the vernal equinox.
In this paper I try to prove that Nouruz, held on the vernal equinox, shows three characters: spring festival, agricultural festival and ancestor festival.
