3. Comparison. 221. There are no special forms in Kaśmiri for the Comparative and superlative.
222. The Comparative is expressed by means of the Positive, or by means of the Persian Comparative words ye bihtar, better ; puis j! buzurgtar, greater, etc. The adjective receives a comparative force by means of the particle dés khote, compared with. E. g., Jelej dié dilse myáni khota zordvar, stronger than I.
This particle is properly a substantive in the ablative, and therefore governs the noun with which comparison is made, in (oblique form of] the genitive in i. For the same reason the possessive pronouns must be used instead of the personal ones. [Sometimes the sign of the genitive is omitted, leaving only the oblique form.]
Examples. (a) Substantivos : día sono volit ustadi candi khote, than the master ; us
di said tsaren handi khota, than sparrows. díká lá hála khota, lit., as compared with the condition (of), is also used; e. g, díá díla scie tuhandi hála khota,
than yon. With infinitivo ás ációs kheng khote, than the eating, than food. (6) Adjectives: ai godaniki khota, than the first (sc. fareb, deception). (©) Pronouns ; áść wilgo miáni klotą, than me ; aía sacas tihandi khota, than
them ; aík og panawi khota, than self ; atá v tami kłota, than her. (1) Phrases: dźć d.tami kho wa, by so much more ; s; si no

u s kus chhu bod, son kina haikal, which is great, the gold or the temple ?
224. The Super'ative is expressed by strengthening the positive with some word signifying very'; or by tá lhota with uslu söriy (more than all); or by means of the word 44 hynde; or is to be gathered from the meaning of the passage ; e. gu com ara eso es lo es
