At squared momentum transfers 0.8< or =q/sup 2/< or =6.0 (GeV/c)/sup 2/, we measured nine spectra of inelastic electron-deuteron scattering cross sections in the threshold region between 0 and 2.3% in ..delta..p/p below the elastic peak and deduced the deuteron inelastic structure function ..nu..W/sub 2/. We found ..nu..W/sub 2/(..omega..') approaching a universal scaling curve and a close relation between ..nu..W/sub 2/ and the deuteron elastic structure function A (q/sup 2/).
