G. A. Grierson —On Primary Suffixes in Ka^miri. 
[No. 3, 
A preceding long ^rr a (not short ^ a) is modified. Thus,— 
ddr, place. 
• • 
o and ^ e become u and t * respectively before this prefix (14,15). 
Thus,— 
sftoT bdz, hear. 
ir*T men, measure. 
If a root ends in ^ i, the final 
ydth (ix. i. 7, 8). Thus,— 
hi, take. 
khi, eat- 
Exceptions are— 
■ > 
fsr ni , take, 
fa di , give, 
fa; yi, come. 
buzith, having heard. 
minith , having measured. 
i, together with the suffix become 
hyath, having taken. 
<^re kliyath , having eaten. 
fa*? nith, having taken, 
fa^ dith, having given, 
fa^ yith, having come. 
When the root <1^ wad, fly, signifies moksa, final release, it becomes 
<jfapq wujith, having obtained final release; but wudith , having 
flown (ix. i. 9). 
The root iJ^TTl«T mas a rav, cause to forget, usually forms iWrjfaiej 
mas a ravith, regularly, but in the phrase ‘ to cause to forget death,’ it 
becomes mdsawith. Thus,— 
iT^iT irrcfre marun mdsawith , having caused (so and so) to forget 
death (ix. i. 10); 
The suffix kydtli, may be added to this form. Thus, 
karith kydtli, having done (ix. i. 6). 
3. T i (ix. i. 11-15). This is used instead of ^ ith, when 
the word is repeated to represent frequentative action. In this case 
both a preceding a and a preceding a are modified. Thus,— 
kar, do. qjfa kpr 1 kar % having made 
over and over again. 
mar , beat. q\fx q\fx mar 1 mar % having beaten 
repeatedly. 
kar , boil. cfiifa kar 1 kar\ having boiled 
repeatedly.
