Them, being women, they declared (ah) to me to be men; he who hath eyes may see, [but] the blind will not distinguish (vi-cit); the son that is a poet, he verily understood (ā-cit); whoever knows those things apart, he shall be [his] father's father.

William Dwight Whitney 1905, Atharva-Veda Saṃhitā (HOS 7–8)
