The Persian silent "w Eaverty (Gram. Pushto 4) observes is always 

 sounded in Push to ; thus vb-^' is pronounced Khwa'b, not Kha'b, ; 

 is Ketwa's", not Kha'n. My observations in Kakar-land did not quite 

 bear him out in this ; for the following I found to be synonymous 

 l^ronunciations. Akhtind and Akhwand : Zabkha'^ and Zwaekha'n : 

 Stjekhwa'b and Suekha'b, (where the vr is a gratuitous insertion, the 

 word being Stjekh + a'b, red water) : Sueghwand and STJEGnA'Jsr. 



Before leaving the vowels a curious insertion of x in the following 

 vFord is worthy of remark. Cho'tia'li is locally Cho'ta'lai : Zakhpe'l 

 and Zakhpte'l are synonymous and so are Sta'jgai and Sa'zgal. 



The following is a list of the various forms under which place names 

 were found by myself and on which the foregoing observations are based.

* Jeh is for Deh, a village. These words represent the Lur Axgang and Kt5z 

 Angang of the map (Do'f Valley). 



t To show pronunciations of ai : this is a termination not a word. 



J These names arise from the confusion between Tsav and Ytjsup (Esau and 

 Joseph). 



§ These words have the same meaning, viz. God-given : there is a similarly named 

 village near Kandahar.
