APPENDIX 



numbers are given exactly as collected, discrepancies included. Writing 

 on the subject, an ancient Dallal says, " These numbers are Pushtu, or 

 if not Pushtu, then they must be some other language." As they are 

 not Pushtu, we must conclude they are " some other language " : —

^ It lingers in my mind that I have heard aspina used for a rupee. 

 2 In 5 and 95, kafi; elsewhere kafa. 

 8 Bas apparently should be bash. 

 * Why not sar-i akel ? 

 5 Why not sar-i kafi ? 



s I was unable to obtain these numbers ; but logically 16, 17, and 18, should be 

 sar-i rekhi, sar-i rekhi bas (or bash ?), and sar-i ydz bash. 

 ■? Mdle = " on, upon." 

 ^ Daigdn = dahd,i. 

 8 Kaso = kam.
