Like many things in Pashto, inflection can seem mysterious and intimidating. Why do the words change so much, and how!? 😩 But, we'll see that there are just a few basic patterns that the words follow, and it's not so scary or confusing after all.

### Pattern 1 feminine nouns without an ـه - a ending
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There are a number of feminine nouns which follow the basic pattern, but are missing an <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "ـه", f: "a" }}> ending.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For example:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
export const femEndingWConsonant = [
|
|
||||||
{ p: "لار", f: "laar", e: "road" },
|
|
||||||
{ p: "ورځ", f: "wradz", e: "day "},
|
|
||||||
{ p: "میاشت", f: "myaasht", e: "month" },
|
|
||||||
{ p: "غېږ", f: "gheG", e: "bosom" },
|
|
||||||
{ p: "څنګل", f: "tsangul", e: "elbow" },
|
|
||||||
{ p: "بړستن", f: "bRastun", e: "blanket" },
|
|
||||||
{ p: "ږمنځ", f: "Gmundz", e: "comb" },
|
|
||||||
{ p: "ستن", f: "stun", e: "needle" },
|
|
||||||
{ p: "لمن", f: "lamun", e: "skirt" },
|
|
||||||
{ p: "څرمن", f: "tsarmún", e: "leather" },
|
|
||||||
{ p: "توشک", f: "toshák", e: "cushion" },
|
|
||||||
{ p: "کنځل", f: "kundzul", e: "swear word" },
|
|
||||||
{ p: "لوېشت", f: "lwesht", e: "span, a measurement"},
|
|
||||||
{ p: "منګل", f: "mangúl", e: "claw" },
|
|
||||||
{ p: "ورېځ", f: "wurédz", e: "cloud" },
|
|
||||||
];
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
export function IrregularFem() {
|
|
||||||
return (
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
{femEndingWConsonant.map((entry) => (
|
|
||||||
<li key={entry.p}>
|
|
||||||
<InlinePs
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||

|
|

|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
);
|
|
||||||

||||||

## Exceptions in inflection
|
|
||||||
|
|

Whatever kind of word you're using, it will always inflect for the <Link to="/inflection/inflection-intro/">three reasons</Link> that we mentioned earlier. However, there are a few exceptions.
