290 G. A. Grierson— On the Kagmirt Vowel-System. [No. 3, 
sg. of kran- is altars kranis, not miffa kranis. This is not the case 
with other vowels: e.g., the dat. sg. of W1@ poth- (feminine) is WIf| paths 
(fully pronounced 7), not ¥fy puthi, while the nom. sg. (with i-matra) 
is ufy path‘, with the 6 changed to @ (see page 302). 
The following are examples of @ followed by 7-matra. 
mute kran‘, pr. kréd‘nt, relations, arte byalt (bydlt), seeds (pl. of 
(pl. of TH kron*). arg byol”). 
aif dan‘ (déin‘ ), churn-sticks, (pl. 
of eta don). 
The following are examples of & followed by u-matra. As just 
explained, they are really instances of @ being followed by u-matra, and 
therefore changed to 6. They are all masculine nouns in 4-mdtra. 
The nom. mase. plurals all end in t-m@tra preceded by @. Thus cydn,, 
nom. plur. cyan‘. The pronunciation of the 6 is nearly like that of 
Sanskrit and Hindi, but is slightly drawled till it approaches that of au 
in cause, as befits its derivation from @ and wu.
