308 G. A. Grierson—A List of Kagmirt Verbs. [No. 4, 
Verbs in J change it to 7. 
Thus— 
polun (./ pal), he protected paj?n pajyyon 
tsal“, he fled © tsaj# tsajyov 
These changes do not occur in the case of verbs of the second 
conjugation which are not mentioned in the above list. Thus, from the 
,/ zéth, be long, we have the Aorist zéthyauv, not zéchyauv. 
Note that 4 is elided after ts, ish, z and #, ands. It is also — 
in the case of the verbs pz, ‘ fall’ ( pyane not pi-y-awv), and gatsh, ‘go’ 
(gauv not gyauv). 
It is, however, retained in the case of the following Neuter Verbs. © 
K+ts, be wet, grdts, be splashed out, tsdts, be without employment, 
tshéts, be empty, téz, be sharp, paz, be fit, rdts, be pleasant, vyats, be 
eontained, braz, shine, bawaz, be pleasant, lyats, be weak, ¢rdts, be pure. 
Thus, grdtsyov, not grotsdv, he was splashed out. 
[It is also retained in the following verbs ending in s, dvas, dos, 
tsas, tras, ras, 7s, lis, vis, wolas, wés and optionally in ee das, bas, 
mus, and ss]. 
The vowel changes in these verbs are caused by the presence of 
matra vowels in the final syllable of the masc. and fem. sg. and mase. 
plural of the past. There are no vowel changes in the fem. plural, as 
it never ends in a md@trd-vowel, or in the Aorist or Pluperfect. These 
changes have been explained in my previous paper on Kacmiri pronun- 
ciation.! They are given briefly in the following table, which applies to 
all verbs of both conjugations.
