On Secondary Suffixes in Kdgmiri .— By G. A. Grierson, G.I.E. 
[Read August, 1898.] 
The following account of Secondary Suffixes in Ka^miri is based 
on the fourth part of ^vara-kaula’s Kagmira-gabdamrta. Some of the 
so-called suffixes are evidently merely nouns in composition, but I have 
thought it best to retain them. 
The following suffixes express Relationship. 
1. q<T put * (iv. I). 1 This Suffix (the Skr. TTTfP potah) added to a 
noun in the form of the instrumental singular case (the if n of the 
first declension being dropped), signifies son, e.y.,— 
^ dar y (instr. daran ) a certain caste, dar a -put u y the 
son of a man of that caste. 
haul, a certain caste, kaul a -piitP, the son of a man 
of that caste. 
tyuk u (instr. tik *), a certain caste, titf-put 11 , 
the son of a man of that caste. 
kdv , a crow, kdv a -put v, y a young crow. 
^ hat, a ram, kat a -piit u , a young ram. 
Apparently irregular are,— 
jqf-tjnrf myU-'put u ' i a young ram ; kbkar-piit u a chicken ; 
kotar-put u a young pigeon ; and pachin-put u , 
a young bird. 
This Suffix can only be used with generic terms, such as the 
above. It cannot be used with proper names (iv. 2). 
Note. — The word tsur a -put^ y either means the son of a 
thief (^r isur), or may be applied to children as a term of endearment 
(iv. 3). K
