In the Kashmiri language, specific rules apply when adding suffixes -as and -is to nouns that end with the vowel sound -i. These rules help alter the word form. These suffixes are used to create variations of nouns for different contexts or meanings. For example, adding these suffixes can change a noun’s role within a sentence. The original essence of the noun is maintained in communication.
