Buddhasayga ), Jsajsako (Skr. Ydjaka, Pr. Jdjaka ), Qilako (Skr. Qilaka. ), 
Mahugri (Skr. Manjugri ), etc. Persian names are Mahvetari or Mah- 
vittaro (Prs. Mihtar), ArsaZurii (Prs. Arslan?). Peculiar names are 
IChattinai, Briydsi , Vikausa, etc. Terms signifying divisions of time 
are fcsawo ‘cycle’ (Skr. ksana?)-, sali or salya, ‘year’ (Prs. sdZ), mapfo 
‘ month. ’ (Sariqqoli raas£, Shighni ) ; peculiar is hada ‘ day.’ The name 
of one of the months is Skarih-vari (Prs. Shahriwar, see below). Other 
miscellaneous words, of a more or less certain meaning, are u ‘and’ 
(Wakhi u or o), khu ‘self’ (Sr. and Sg. fek), homi or homo auxi¬ 
liary verb (Wakhi hiimu), hamgusto ‘witness,’ vigto ‘become’ (Wakhi 
wast) ; spa-ta ‘ our ’ (Wak]ji spa ?). The numerals are as follows :— 
1 (not observed). 
2 do (Sg. du, M. do). 
3 trai (Sg. trai , W. trui). 
4 saspari (Sg. safor, Sr. tsavur). 
5 pamji (Sg., W. panz, Sr., Sh. 
pinj). 
6 ssausa or sausa (Sh. khhaushkh , 
W. shaz). 
20 hist a (W., Sr. hist, wist). 
30 siyyam (W., Sr. s£). 
80 saspari-histo (W., Sr. tsavur- 
vist ). 
100 se or sai or say a (Ind. sai, sau ). 
7 (not observed). 
8 hasta (Prs. hast, Sh. washkht). 
9 no or nau (W., M. nau ). 
10 dasa (Sg., Ind. das). 
12 dodasau or dvadaso (Skr. dvd- 
daga). 
16 gumdasa or gumdaso (Skr. so- 
claga). 
500 pam-se. 
1000 hsaro or hajsaro (W., Prs. 
hazdr). 
2000 dvi-hsdri. 
3000 trai-hsari, etc. 
Numerals are written in two ways: either in words or in figures. 
When written in words, these are frequently abbreviated ; thus, pam for 
pamji, and hsa for hsdro. The figure notation is the ancient Indian, 
which possesses no cypher, but twenty figures; viz., 9 for the units, 9 
for the tens, one for hundred, and one for thousand (see Table III). 
The multiples of hundred and thousand are expressed by ligatures of 
the figures of those two numbers with the unit figures. Thus 13 is 
expressed by the juxtaposition of the figure for 10 and the figure for 
3 (10 + 3); 3750 is represented by the three figures for 3000, 700, 50; 
similarly 8800 by the two figures for 8000 and 800 (see Table III). 
Addition is made by post-positing, and multiplication by pre-positing a 
unit figure or unit word. Thus 22 is histo-do (i.e., 20 + 2); 80 is saspari- 
histo (i.e., 4 x 20) ; 300 is trai-se (i.e., 3 x 100). 
With regard to other grammatical forms I have noticed the follow¬ 
ing inflexions: aro indicates the plural; e.g., Dharmapuno hamgusto vigto 
‘ Darmapuno has become witness; ’ but Briydsi u Budagam hamgusti 
vigtdro ‘ Briyasi and Budarin have become witnesses.’ Mye or cu and
