- Birǰ. also has qazar for qadar ‘divine decree’, čeqazar for čeqadr ‘how much’, which reminds Mašh. eqezer ‘so much’ (= Standard Prs. in qadr). Mašh. bezem, bezet, bezeš, etc. for ‘to me, to you, to him/her, etc.’ (= Prs. be man, be to, be u) have also been interpreted as from pad + suffix with z < d.
