Some Khotanese Past Participles
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 December 2009
Extract
One of the difficulties in the study of the verbal system of a language that is comparatively little known can be finding the appropriate past participles to go with present stems or the reverse. This difficulty faces those working with Khotanese. H. W. Bailey has only recently assigned ārsta- to ārīh- ‘to share’ and pärsta- to prïh- ‘to conceal’. Some further suggestions I make here for the first time.

16 It has not been noticed hitherto that the phrase drreha jsä brrīyikya vīrāṣṭä in the Staël-Holstein Miscellany (64, KT, II, 75) provides a clear parallel with drrāha hā bīkā ttu däśu in E.
17 Rather ‘in the direction of the beloved’, as Kh. uses loc. of the goal of motion (see Emmerick, R. B., BSOAS, XXVIII, 1, 1965, 32) and däśā- means ‘direction’ not ‘region’.Google Scholar

This work provides an important addition to our knowledge of Khotanese. I take the opportunity to note here one or two small points by way of improvement on the text. In 2.139 read haṃ väte ‘always’, as elsewhere in E. In 2.155 read rraysa haphara ‘empty distractions’, the same phrase as E 6.6. In 2.167 read mannä hamatte. hamatte cannot in OKh. be the same as hamättä (E 23.131) ‘changes’ *fra-miOatai, but is a new verb, *fra-madatai.
