is necessary. Thus, if the words nima (what ?), qa'i-si (which P), or gener- 
. 
ally, any interrogative adverb, appears in the body of the sentence, the final 
interrogative mu or ma, or the dubitative m'ilcin, is not required. Other¬ 
wise it is; 
Thus : ktma bar “ what is there ?” hut, shubu bar mu “ is it this ?” 
Again : JBu QAl-Si pdighambar-ning ruh-i ilcin , “ What prophet’s soul 
may this be ?” 
but : JBufuIan pdighambar-ning ruh-i ^dihin “ May this be such-and- 
such a prophet’s soul ?”
