'All Quli Khan. Native Persian scholars in reading these words, draw 

 the word pli to the preceding name, without the cJUo| • as, Khan- 

 zainaiinani 'aliqnlikhan. But if the title be a word which cannot take 

 the form of the macdar, kit i tab is constructed as mukliritab ; e . g .,

 be impossible. Thus also with the word u* 2 -^ ; you say, Arzii

 invert the order, according to our idiom, and say, Sirdjuddfn Khdn t
