page 662 note 1 A striking example is found in the use of the Kāshmīrī verb pāthun, to become. This has a dental th, but in certain idiomatic expressions in common use it is spoken with an (?) alveolar (written as a cerebral) ṭh. Thus, we have the very common interjection asě-ti pāṭhi (not pāthi), “may that be my luck also.” So, the Ksh. for “fist” is muśt-, not muṣṭ-.
