This completes a study begun with ‘Contracted Diphthongs in Old Khotanese’ (2015b) of the contractions seen in the secondary declensions. Here are examined the phenomena of diphthong resolution, semivocalization and glide resolution. Metrical patterns in the great Buddhist poem known as The Book of Zambasta are used to reveal word structure not shown by the orthography. The diphthongs revealed in the earlier study, written CyV or CvV may resolve into CiyV (CayV) or CuvV but keep the same metrical count. Oblique plural is recognized as a distinct grammatical category and it is shown how the oblique plural suffixes induce semivocalization rather than diphthongization. The orthographic sequences containing a semi-vowel, CyV or CvV, are identical to those containing a diphthong. They may also resolve orthographically to CiyV (CayV) or CuvV, but with these resolved glides an extra mora is added to the metrical count. An explanation is offered for the unusual morphophonological behavior and metrical distribution of the IAP morpheme -yau. Many of the contraction processes may also be seen with verb stems ending in /i/ and /u/.

古于阗语的收缩半元音

这完成了一项以“旧于阗语的收缩双元音”(2015b)开始的研究,该研究对次级变格中的收缩进行了研究。这里考察了双元音分辨、半发声和滑音分辨的现象。伟大的佛教诗歌《赞巴斯塔之书》中的格律被用来揭示拼写法未显示的单词结构。早期研究中揭示的双元音,书写的 CyV 或 CvV 可能会分解为 CiyV (CayV) 或 CuvV,但保持相同的度量计数。斜复数被认为是一个独特的语法类别,它显示了斜复数后缀如何诱导半发声而不是双元音化。包含半元音、CyV 或 CvV 的正字序列与包含双元音的序列相同。它们也可以正字法解析为 CiyV (CayV) 或 CuvV,但随着这些解析的滑行,额外的莫拉被添加到公制计数中。对 IAP 语素 -yau 的异常形态语音行为和韵律分布提供了解释。许多收缩过程也可以在动词词干以 /i/ 和 /u/ 结尾时看到。
