INTRODUCTORY NOTE.
TT is hoped that this Waziri Grammar and Vocabulary may
A- ^ be of some assistance to officers who, after acquiring the
Pashto of Peshawar, are brought into contact with the Waziris
of the Bannu District or of Waziristan. The difference
between the Waziri and Peshawar varieties of Pashto is
hardly less than that which separates broad Scots from cock-
ney English, and like it extends to grammar and idiom as
well as to vocabulary.* A Pathan of the northern border
lately arrived in the Waziri country, is far from understand-*
ing all that he hears, and cannot always make himself under-
stood by the ordinary villager. After a short time, he is able
to converse freely with Waziris ; but he never acquires a
perfect command of Waziri, in spite of its close relationship
to his mother tongue. The difficulty to a British officer is of
course much greater, even if he has a good knowledge of
Peshawar Pashto ; and if he wishes to attain even a moderate
degree of correctness in speaking Waziri, he must study it
almost as he would a new language and abandon the idea
that a few changes in pronunciation, or even in accidence,
will make his Peshawar Pashto intelligible to the ordinary
Waziri tribesman. There is no fixed formula, even in the
comparatively simple matter of pronunciation, by which
the one variety of the language can be mechanically con-
verted into the other. The result of treating Waziri as a
* Some of tbe commonest words in the Peshawar dialect have no counterpart in
Waziri, e.g., by61, separate, of which the Waziri is gwashai ; prftnastel, to open,

and it is not nnderstood by the less civilised among the Waziris.
ii INTRODUCTORY NOTE.
modification, according to a few general rules,* of Peshawar
Pashto would consequently be a jargon not spoken by any tribe.
While the Waziri dialects differ, as a family, in a marked
degree from the Peshawar and other dialects of Pashto, they
also differ to a less extent among themselves. These variations,
however, do not appreciably impede communication between
Waziris of different tribes, and may be regarded as of little
practical importance. In this Grammar and Vocabulary the
dialect of the Mohmit Khel Waziris of the Middle Tochi has
been taken as the standard ; but the book has been compiled
from many sources, and Dauri, Mahsud, and other elements
will, no doubt, be found in it. In fact, it would be impossible
to distinguish and keep separate the different Waziri dialects,t
which shade into each other imperceptibly and vary from
tribe to tribe, and even from section to section. The dialect
of families of the same clan which have been separated for"
some generations is often not the same. Pronunciation varies
almost from village to village, f and so great is the cojifusion
that even the same man wiU sometimes pronounce the same
word in different ways. Strange to say, the Mahsud and Wano
* There are, however, a few general rules, bat they are of nncertain and irregular
application ; e,g,, the b, m, n, k and w of Peshawar Pashto often become w, w, 1, kw and y
in Waziri Pashto. Thus the Peshawar words b^ga, evening, m^ma, guest, nghar^,^re-
place, kunda, widow, and nwar, sun, become in Waziri Pashto w^ga, wulma, Ig^am,
kwunda and my^r or Im^r. The last word is an excellent illustration of the uncertainty
attending these oonversions. The name Anwar becomes Almar. An n is frequently
inserted after a vowel in Waziri, as maudat, for madad, help. Words beginning with a
vowel in Peshawar Pashto often begin with y in Waziri Pashto ; thus, obe and y^bo»
water » In this respect some varieties of Lowland Scottish furnish an analogy : eg,, the
dialect of the Ettrick Shepherd in the " Noctes Ambrosianae," wbo calls an epic, a yepic,
and the earth, yearth. As regards correspondence of vowels, see last footnote on this
page.
t Thus in the Bannu district alone there are at least Ihree ways of saying
" I will not." A Hathi Ehel says " Dft kissa wa na wukan "; a Sperkai says '* Dft kissa
wa na wukan dai "; and an TJmarzai says '' Dft kissa wa na wukai^i kruzh."
X So in Bannu the word for a bullet is '' golai," and a Bannu Waziri will sometimes
fail to recognise it if pronounced " g^lai " as in Toohi. To speak generally, the a and a
of standard Pashto are represented for the most part by o and i respectively in the
Waziri dialects. The o of standard Pashto and of the Mahsud dialect is frequently
represented by o in the Darwesh Elhel dialects and by 4 in Danri. Again, h frequently
occurs in Dauri where o is found in standard Pashto, in the Mahsud dialect and even
in the dialects of the Darwesh Khel. There is, however, no consistent rule of trans-
mutation..
INTRODUCTORY NOTE. m
Darweah Khel varieties of Waziri Pashto, while resembling
the others in grammar and vocabulary, differ considerably less
from the Pashto of Peshawar in pronounciation.
A few words are necessary to explain the phonetic system
employed in this book. Waziri Pashto is seldom or never
written, the correspondence of the people being carried on
through letter- writers, chiefly mullahs, in Hindustani or exe-
crable Persian. The Arabic character, which has only the
means of expressing eight vowel sounds, viz.^ a, a, % 5, u, u,
auy and ai, is entirely unsuited to be the vehicle of a tongue so
rich in vowels as Waziri. The close connection, in the Arabic
character, between the consonantal sounds f(? and y and
certain of the long vowels and diphthongs is an additional
disadvantage. Thus the Dauri word ytySy eggs, could only
be expressed in Arabic characters by repeating the same
symbol four times, yyyy, minute diacritical marks (one of
which does not exist in Arabic itself) being added to indicate
the variation of sound. The superiority of the Roman charac-
ter as the literary medium of Waziri, or indeed of any dialect
of Pashto, is so obvious as to require no further demons-
tration.
The values of the characters which occur in the following
Grammar and Vocabulary are as follow :—
Vowels. — A == TI in but, cut.
A = A in bar, far.
E = E in water, barber.
E = AY in day, say.
S = AI in fair, hair.
E = E in met, set.
I = I in bit, sit.
I = EE in feet, meet.
O = O in note, rote.
= EU in. French beurre.
U = U in put.
tr = U in crude.
tJ = tJ in German siinde.
AI = I in rice, mice.
AU = OW in now, cow.
iv INTRODUCTORY NOTE.
The other douhle vowels are not true diphthongs : in AO,
lA, 10, 01, etc., each vowel is pronounced separately in the
ordinary way. The equivalents given in the above table are
approximate only, and the true sounds must be learnt, in
conversation, from Waziris. There are really two sounds of
O, and the illustrations given of the sounds E and AI are
not quite exact. The sound passes by an easy gradation
into E, and JJ into I.
Consonants. — The consonants, except so far as they call
for remark and are mentioned below, are the same as in
English. C and X are not required. The former when soft
is represented by S and when hard by K; the latter is
represented by KS. Q is not found, the place of QU being
supplied by KW.
OH is pronounced as in English, and is not underlined
because it already exists in English as a double
letter.
D is a soft dental 3) which does not occur in English,
DZ is pronounced as spelt, and has been underlined and
treated as a single letter for etymological reasons
only.
P is the ordinary D of the English language, only harder
and more palatal.
GH is a guttural sound, intermediate between G and R,
which has no equivalent in English.
KH is pronounced as CH in the Scottish words loch,
Auchtermuchty.
]^ is a nasal pronounced like N in the Erench bon, ton,
but less strongly. It is sometimes scarcely per-
ceptible.
NBt is an indescribable nasal.
R is a palatal R which does not exist in English.
SH is pronounced as in English, and is not underlined
because it already exists in English as a double
letter,
T is a soft dental T not found in English.
INTfiODUCTORY NOTE.
IS is pronounced as spelt, and has been underlined and
treated as a single letter for etymological reasons
only.
T is the English T, but harder and more palatal.
W and Y have the same consonantal sounds as in Eng-
lish and are never used as vowels. In a number
of words W is interchangeable with V.
ZH is the sound represented in Erench by J, as in je,
.lai-
If the reader will take the trouble to master thoroughly
the meaning of these symbols, he will be able to pronounce
at once, with fair correctness, any word he finds in this book,
a result which could not have been attained if the Arabic
character had been employed.
There is a variable, and sometimes marked, syllabic
emphasis in the Waziri dialect; but no attempt has been
made in the vocabulary to indicate the syllables on wliich this
accent falls; partly to avoid complicating the system of
notation, and partly because the correct emphasis can most
conveniently be acquired in conversation.
The writer regrets that he has not found it possible to
deal with the derivation of words ; to point out, for example,
that monA^itan, evening prayer, (Peshawar Pashto, mdz-
Ichutan) has obviously, in spite of the want of resemblance,
come from the Persian namdz'i'jchvftan ; to consider whether
marakka^ a tribal council, is a corruption of the Arabic
ma^raka, field of battle, hence council of war, or other council ;
or to discuss the identity of &ay?r, a caravan, with ba^irf
one of the Arabic words for a camel. Similarly ho has boon
unable to enlarge on certain interesting indications,— such
as the common use of the archaic compound preposition
toa . . . ta^ the fuU inflection for gender and number of the

vi INTRODUCTORY NOTE.
past participle in compound tenses, and the comparative
fewness of words of foreign origin,* — which might be held to
show that Waziri is a more pure and consistent form of the
language, and less distantly removed from the speech of the
original Pathans,t than the now standard dialect of Peshawar4
The present book was begun in Tochi, but a great part
of it has been written at a distance from the frontier.
The writer hopes that this fact, added to the difficulty of
compiling a first text-book in any new dialect, may be
accepted as a sufficient excuse for the inaccuracies which will,
no doubt, be discovered by those who may make, use of it in
their daily dealings with Waziris. The differences of dialect
prevailing among the Waziris themselves should be borne
in mind in criticising apparent mistakes.
An apology is due to the reader for the blimtness of a few
of the expressions introduced into the vocabulary : the explana-
tion is that they, like almost all the phrases which the book
contains, were taken from the lips of living Waziris and are
characteristic.
The writer is mainly indebted for the materials of this
book to Maliks Khair Muhammad, Hathi Khel of Bannu,
Gul Husen, Mohmit Khel of Tal, Nabbi Khan, Madda Khel
* There are, however, a few remarkable adaptations of Urdu words, such as b^t^i,
piece qf meat, led, horse»dunff, mantar, a charm, and wesh, jpoison.
t It has been suggested that such forms as ko from the verb k^el rather show
Waziri to be a worn-down and degenerate dialect. To refute this idea it is sufficient
to refer to the language of Scotland, admittedly more primitive than modern English,
but nevertheless having some words apocopated which are not apocopated in English,
e.g., sma' for small, wa', for wall. Worn-down forms are, moreover, rare in Waziri.
X Another point worthy of investigation is the relation of the Waziri, or any
other Fashto dialect, to the langaages of Europe. The following resemblances to
English may be noticed : arw^del^ to hear ; ^und, round '^ kat, small bed or cot ; kok,
eake ; leke, like ; newai, new ; stbrai, star ; tandar, thunder-holt ; wivd, weaved or
wove ; wula, willow. Compare also the suffix -s^, so, in ha^asl, etc. M^i mother, is
pronounced exactly like the French mere, and kuna may be compared with the Latin
cunnus. Although Waziri Pashto belongs to the same &mily as most of the languages
of Europe, being an Indo-Iranian dialect, these resemblances are in some cases so close
as to suggest the idea of their being accidental. DilEerence according to fixed rules
would have been more noteworthy : possibly a formula might be discoverable by a
competent philologist.

WAZIRI GRAMMAR.
AS few persons who have not already a working knowledge of
ordinary Fashto are likely to undertake the study of the Waziri
dialect^ the following sketch of Waziri grammar assumes some acquaint-
anoe on the part of the reader with the general principles of Fashto gram-
mar and is designed chiefly to indicate the points of differ^ioe between
the Peshawar and Waziri dialects. The student is reconunended first to
ran through the grammar and next to study carefully the vocabulary
(which was originally written as a phrase book), referring back to the
grammar for an explanation of all inflections^ etc., which he does not
understand. He may then re-peruse the grammar more thoroughly and
analyse the Waziri specimens given in the first and second appendices.
THE NOUN.
Gender.
Waziri nouns are of two genders, masculine and feminine. The
names of males are masculine ; of females, feminine ; and of things,
either masculine or feminine. Masculine nouns generally terminate in a
consonant or in the diphthong ai (corresponding to' the Peshawari
S), while the great majority of feminine nouns end in a, and a consider-
able number in ai (corresponding to the Peshawari ai). Other less
conmion terminations of masculine nouns are a, a, an^ an^ e, i and ;
of feminine nouns, a consonant, a, an^ 6, h ^9 Of ^^^ j6*
Number and Case.
There are two numbers, singular and plural ; and two cases, nomi-
native and oblique. The oblique case is that governed by a preposition
or used to express the agent when the verb is active and employed in
the past tense. The numbers and cases are marked by inflections; but
it may be noted that in Waziri there is a strong tendency, especially in
B

used in a collective sense; thus a Wajciri Bays, £ mo tH melU^i
khvarelai dai, the locusts hare, lit. the locust has, eaten up wy green
erops.
MaBcolint Dtclenaiontk
(1) Masculine nouns ending in a consonant. — In all of these the
oblique singular is either the same as the nominative singular or
formed from it, by adding an *gj, which appears to be discretionary
and merely euphonic : thus, De plor vrSr, or, De plora vror, Aalf'
brother. The cases of the plural are formed in one of three ways : first,
by adding to the stem nothing for the nominative plural, and -S for
the oblique plural ; second, by adding -en for the nominative plural,
and -H)nS for the oblique plural ; third, by adding -ina for the nomina-
tive plural, and "in€ or «0 for the oblique plural. The first of these
va^ticB of the declension is general, including the names of human beings,
animals and things; the second consists ehiefly of the names of
human beings, but includes a few names of animals ; while the third i&
eompoBed ehiefly of names of things with, however, a few names of
animals and even of human beings. This first masculine declension may
accordingly be divided into a general, an animate and an inanimate
elass, each class being named according to the kind of noun which pre-
ponderates, in it. It may be remarked here that in the oblique pluraJ of
the inanimate class of this declension the terminations -in6 and -6
appear to be almost interchangeable, but that with certain words one
of them is preferred to the other.

shepherd, makes shpona, shpona, shpan^.
The difiMilty of this declension is farther inofieaaed by the laet that
the same word may, in some cases, be declined in more than one way ;
thus los makes a plural losina besides that of los, already given^

formed by substituting -j for the -ni of the nominative singular,

able, while shai, thing, makes shi, shaiyina, shaiy^.

nominative plural identical with their nominative singular ; thus man-
dau is used both for furnace and furnaces. The word badsha, Ung,
makes its plural badshaon^ or badshayon.

8 WAZIUI GRAMMAR*
Vocative Case.
Most nouns have a vocative case, which in the singular of masculine
nouns is usually formed hy adding -a and making such further euphonic
changes of voWels as may be required : —
e plora ! oh father ! from plor.
e saraiya ! oh man ! from sarai.
e zhenia I oh young man ! from ghenai.
The difference of termination in the 2nd and Srd examples appears to
be due to the different incidence of the syllabic accent. In the plural of
masculine nouns and in both numbers of feminine nouns the vocative
appears to be identical with the oblique^ e,g, 4 malikon^ I oh maliJts f,
i tarbre ! oh cousins ! e shez6^ oh woman (or women) I
Numeral Case.
Many Waziri nouns possess what may be called a numeral case. It is
used after a numeral adjective and is formed by adding the termination
-a, and making any vowel changes which euphony may require*
Examples :—
Dwa sika {or sikfna) mi waheli di, I struck two- blows (from sik).
Tso ghindiya {or ghindi) ghalla di shewy^ do ? How many sacks of
grain have you obtained ? {from ghindm).
Owa dzeya halolawd, to cut the throat of in seven places (from dzoi).
Special use of the Plural.
Names of solid substances and liquids are generally treated as gram-
matical plurals, e.g,^ de mes£ g^la*!^ o, bullet of lead ; de banger^ kiza, a
vessel of copper ; ret^ sar^ ^bo, terribly cold water ; pai she di, the milk
is good*
Oender in relation to Size.
Connected words of different genders are frequently used to designate
similar objects of different size. "Where this is the case the masculine
form denotes an object of large or considerable size, the ordinary femi-
nine one of small size, and the intensive feminine a very small object.
Thus k^t {masc.) means a fortified house or group of houses, keta (fern.)
a angle room of a house, or a house consisting of a single room. Margie
{masc.) means a largish bird, margha {fern.) a smaller bird, and marghai
{intens, fern.) a still smaller bird.
Masculine and Feminine Forms of the same word.
A masculine noun ending in a consonant may sometimes be converted
into the corresponding feminine by the addition of an -a as in i^ty young
le-huffaloy dzeta, young shc'buffalo. When the masculine ends in -ai
WAZIBI QRAMMAB. 9
the feminine may often be formed by Bubstituting -a or *ji for the
•ai i thus jingai^ t/oung he'camel, jinga, young sAe^eamel ; laugerai> man
reaper y laugery^, woman reaper: or occasionally by adding -yg to the
masculine as, shoip^rai, male /airy, B\xov^TBiy6, female fairy.
Significant Terminations.
The tennination -kai or -gai generally has the force of a diminutive
as in kelakai, small village {from kelai, village) ; tebergai, small axe
(from teber, axe)\ and (Hakai, Utile man of short stature (from tit, of
low stature) > In ghotskai, a bullock, the termination seems to have now
no more diminutive force than the 'ock in the English word ; and the
•gai of shahzodgai, princess {from shahzoda, prince), has perhaps a
fcQiinine, rather than a diminutive, meaning. In kh^lagai, blockhead,
the termination probably expresses contempt rather than small size.
The termination -i|pai also has a diminutive sense, e,g., chirg, cock,
chargirai, chicken ; kok, scone, kokirai, small scone.
The terminations -tia or -tia and -tob mark absti*act nouns denoting
conditions or qualities as bedortia^ wakefulness, narintob, courage.
The termination -sht denotes either a verbal noun, as aryesht,
wrangling, a state or condition, as tearbasht, high spirit, lit. being fat,
or an abstract entity as molimesht, knowledge. The termination -in
denotes a verbal noun only, as tarin, arrangement, lit. fying^ and prikrin,
separation, lit. cutting, also landin, making short. Other verbal termina-
tions are -ana5 -anna and -enna as in teorana, stalking, from ^rel^ to
stalk, pashtanna, asking, from pushtel, to ask, and sotenna, keeping,
from sotel, to keep.
The termination -wolai corresponds to the English termination
^ness, e.g., kaghwolai, crookedness. The termination -wolan^ which has
also an abstract meaning, is perhaps a mere variant of the same termina-
tion, e.g., dreamwolan, arbitration*
THE ADJECTIVE.
Adjectives of Quality.
The adjective of quality agrees with the substantive it qualifies in
gender, number and case, and has consequently eight forms, which aie
distinguished by inflections.
(1) The majority of Waziri adjectives end in a consonant, and are
declined like jawat, evident, below : —
Masculine. Fbmikinb.
Singular, Plural. Singular. Plural.
Nominative . jawat, jawat, jawata, jawate.
Oblique . . jawat, jawate, jawate, jawate.
10 WAZIRI GRAMMAR.
In some casaB an '-a may be ad^Bd in^ the Oblique Singular Mascu-
line and is added in the Nominative Plural Masculine^ as in jim^ ravf :— •
yim, yima, jrima^ yim6.
yim or yima, yim^, yim^, jrim^.
In a number of consonantal adjectives the final consonant is doubled
before addition of a vocalic inflection ; this is especially the case with
monosyllabic adjectives. Thus dak, full, cheg, highy ghwut, fat^ and
chikhran, bleared^ make the feminine singulars, dakka, chegga, ghwutta
and chl^renna, respectively. As in the last exainple, the doubling of
the consonant is sometimes accompanied, in other than monosyllabic
words, by a modification of the vowej[^iyl^ich precedes it.
(2) The next commonest adjectival termination is-ai^ of«w]^'ch.;^ushai,
separate, and astewai, single, below may be taken as examples :~
gwushai, gwushf, gwushye, gwushye.
gwushi, gwushye, gwushy^, gwushye.
astewai, astewi, astewy^ ftstewye.
astewi, astewy^, istewy^, ftstewye.
In some cases, however, while the inasculine is regular, the feminine
ends in -ai and is invariable, e,g», l^wanai, mad :-—
lewanai, lewani, lewanai, lewanai.
lewani, lewanye or lewanai, lewanai.
lewanai,
Gefdai, round, karai or kakarai, live4ong^ kortanai, down-country^
khandanai, bad, m^ranai, good, narai, lAin, portanai, up^ountrif, pradai,
belonging to anothery shai, rights tartarai, stammering, wartai, roasted,
zhc2^2^ yellowish, and zhwandai, living, belong to this exceptional class,
but wartai has also a feminine singular warta.
In a few instances the feminine may be obtained by adding -yfi to
the masculine form : such is meranai, related through one's mother, which
makes the feminine mferanaiye or mferanai.
All participles of verbs ending in -ai are treated as adjectives and
belong to the first, or regular, class, ^.^.*—
Saar^eyinai, head-shaving ; sar^eyinyfi chore, razor*
Ghwushtai {masc.) wanted ; ghwushty^ (fem.)
(3) Adjectives in -a, of which there are a considerable number, are
generally declined as follows like tera, sharjo :—
tera, tfera, tfera, tfere.
tfera, tfere, tfere, tfere.
Sometimes, however, they are treated as invariable, e.g., pafira, irri-
gated, de panra g^aname patai, afield of irrigated wheat.
WAZIRI GRAMMAR.
11
(4) She, good^ may be taken as an example of the deolension of adjectives
in -e : it is declined thus >^
she, she, sha, she.
she, she^ sh6, she.
Sode, simple, and tyare, dark, are perhaps the only other adjectives of
this class.
(5) Adjectives in -8 are either invariable like wish€, quiescent, and wul£,
melted, or are declined like the adjectives, pe, understanding, shw6, slip^
pery, and t6, spilt, of uncertain foim, examples of the use of' which
will be found in the Vocabulary. *
(6) Adjectives in -i mostly follow the declension of wuki, uncultivaied,
below :—
wuld, wuki, wuki, wakf.
wukf, wnk^, wuki, wuke.
Most of these adjectives are of foreign derivation. The adjective
warboi, {land) situated near the village, makes its feminine warboya, and
salu, correct, makes sahiya.
(7) Adjectives in -0 are rare and appear to be invariable.
The adjective p^jau, wiped, has for feminine p6jawa, pejaw&
It may be noted here that considerable uncertainty and variety of
usage previal in the declension of the Waziri adjective, and that it
is rarely used in the oblique case of the plural of either gender. i

Comparison.
Adjeotives of quality have no special forms, as in English, to denote
the camparative and superlative degrees ; positive, comparative and super-
lative are all of one form, but the two latter degrees are marked by the
insertion of words meaning, respectively, " than'' and "than all/' Thus
«he, good, makes pa • • . na she, better than, lit., " good than ''
and pa ghund na she, best, lit., ^^ good than all!*
Numeral, Quantitative and Distributive Adjectives.

indeclinable.
The ordinals are derived from the cardinals by adding the suffix
•am for the masculine and -ama for the feminise, after elision of the
final vowel if the cardinal ends in a vowel. Thus, pinze,^r<?, makes
pinzam, pinzama, fifth ; and shp^gh? ^t^> makes shp^gham, shp^j^ama,

The use of the various forms of the oblique, where more than one exist,
can be best explained by means of a few examples. The forms mo^ to
and agha, agbS etc. are employed (1) to express the agent as, Mo
yo zerk wuwTsht, I shot a chikore, (2) with prepositions generally as,
Mo na gwushai shan, he separated from me, (3) to denote the possessive
by combination with the preposition de or e, o/, as, De mo plor, m^
father^ E to sheza, your wife.* The forms mi, di and or yg are used
(1) to denote the agent as, Zerk mi wuwisht, I shot a cMiore, (2) to
markthepossessiveas, Plor mi mer shan, wi^yij^A^r died, (8) to indicate
interest in or connection with, as, Khwasha mi do, it is pleasing to me,
so far as 1 am concerned. The object of the action may be expressed
by either form as. Mo waiyi, he beats me*, Di g^wori boli di, ^^ wants
yov,, he is calling for you.
There are also three invariable pronominal forms, ro for the 1st person,
der for the 2nd, and wer for the 3rd, which may be combined with adjec-
tives to express interest or connection as, Los! rocbeg shan, he imwedi^
ately rose to m^et me, or in my presence,^ or out of respect for me, or may
be used with prepositions in their ordinary senses as, Das£ w^rta wu-
wyaiya, tell him (or them) so ; Dushman robondi roji^ai, an enemy can:e
upon me (or us). They may also be used instead of the personal pronouns
proper in combination with the prepositions bondi, londi, pase, pferi,
sara, ta, zene and zoWba, e.g., Werta wyaiya, tell him,
Agha (which has also the aspirated form hagha and in the nomina-
tive singular masculine an abbreviated form a) is the usual pronoun of
the 3rd person : it is also used as a demonstrative adjective meaning
that or the. The terminations of agha, used as a demonstrative adjective
are sometimes curtailed as, Wag^ sari ta wyaiya, tell that man.
Dag[ha, declined as below, is also used as the pronoun of the 3rd
person : used as a demonstrative adjective it means this :—
Masculine. ' Feminine.
Singular. Plural. Singular, Plural.
Nom. dagha, dagh, da, dagha, dagh, dagha. do vr da. daghe, d& or de,
dai or de. or da.
Obi. dagha, dagh. da, dag^a, dag^e daghe or dd, daghe or de.
dai, de or de. or de.
* The possessive CMse of tbe let personal pronoun, plural, is however in some Waziri
dialects not •* de mizh " but *'damizh " or «* gmigh *', and this form baa tbe inflections of
an adjective^ »,ff., damizba mor, our mother.
16 WAZIRI QBAMMAR.
When dagha is used in a pronominal sense the contracted forms are
preferred ; the full form is the one principally used as a demonstrative
adjective meaning this.
When a^a and dagha occur in the same passage^ agha means tke
fortner or (ke one further /rom me, dagha. tke latter or tie one nearer me.
In strictness, a^a and da^a should perhaps be considered to be in
all cases either demonstrative adjectives or demonstrative pronouns. If
this view be taken there is no personal pronoun of the 8rd person at
all in Waziri, except the oblique form or yS, the place of the nominative
of the 3rd person being supplied by the termination of the verb.
Beflezive Pronouns.
The place of the reflexive pronoun, where it is the subject of the
sentence, is taken by the adverbial phrase pa b^pula, lit. on hie own
(account) ; in the objective the reflexive pronoun is expressed by jgon as,
pa ^pula 4^n y6 mer kan, Ae himeelf killed himself ^ i.e., he committed
iuieide.
Demonstrative Pronouns.
These are a£ha and dag[ha, already dealt with under the Personal
Pronouns.
Interrogative Pronouns.
These are ligok ? who? kim ? which ? * and jfie ? what ? The two
former are singular and are declined as follows : —
Norn. ^k? \Ma,c.^^^fem.
Obi. cha? y
Maic, Fern.
Norn. kim? kuna?
ObL kim ? kime ?
Tse is indeclinable but generally plural. Kim is used, but rarely, in
the plural, with the inflections of an ordinary adjective : tgok has no plural.
" Whether of two ? '' ** which of two or more ? '^ are expressed by the
compound kim y ? literally, ** which one ? *'
Relative Pronouns.
There are really no relative pronouns in Waziri, but the interrogative
pronouns jfiok and kim followed by the demonstrative pronoun agha are
used as substitutes, e»g.:^
T^ok [or che tgok) d&se zhagh^zhij. agha darw^ghzan dai, he who
sa^s io i» a liar, lit. who Says so ? he is a liar.
* Kim 18 properly an adjective. It cannot stand alone except when used as an Indefi«
oite Pronoun-.
WAZIRI GRAMMAR. 17
Kim (or che kim) sarai das^ kor ko, ft badmash byeli^ a man who
behaves so is -called a rnjffian, lit. wMcA man does such a thing ? he is
called a ruffian^
The nondescript particle che is also used as a relative pronoun, e.g^^
Agha sarai che lor, the man who went, Agha bandi che mo wuniwaa,
the prisoner whom I arrested^ Che is also used, instead of the demon-
strative agha^ in combination with the interrogative pronoun to form *a
relative,, e.g,^ Kim yo shai che ze dirta wushayan, the thing which I show
' you, lit. which one thing that I show you.
Indefinite FrononuB.
These are yOy either, one; bel^ another, the other; ghnnd, all;
ig'dk or hSlfSok, anybody ; har yo, har IfSok, each, every ; kim, any ; jfie,
something, somewhat ; hat t^, everything ; bel tSfilk, someone else ; for
examples of the use of these words the reader is referred to the Voca-
bulary. In those of the foregoing which are compounds the component
parts are separately declined ; Jjge is indeclinable and plural : yo and ^ok
are declined like the numeral adjective and interrogative pronoun, respec-
tively, having the same forms ; bel and har are each declined as a
singular, and g[hand as a plural adjective.

Classification of Verbs.
The Waziri verbs may be divided into four classes (1) Auxiliary.
(2) Simple. (3) Compound. (4) Substantive.
Moods and Tenses.
The following moods and tenses, except those marked with asterisks,
are possessed by all Waziri verbs which are not defective :—

Moods. Tensbs.
Imperative.
Subjunctive.
Conditional * Pregeut.
Do. *Pafit.
Potential. Present.
Do. Past.
The moods opposite which no tense is shown have only one tense,
which is used with reference to all times. The present participle, where
it exists, is rather a noun derived from the same root as the verb, than a
mood of the verb. The conditional is of rare occurrence, and will be dealt
with separately, as will also the potential, which is somewhat erratic in
its formation. The remaining moods and tenses are in common use.
Auxiliary Verbs.
These are the eqiuvalents of to he and to become, and they are used
independently in these senses, besides being employed as auxiliaries to
form tenses and voices of other verbs. The first has only the present,
future and past indefinite of the indicative; the subjunctive; and the
conditional : the other parts, including the infinitive, are wanting. The
second is less defective.
The verb to be is conjugated as follows :—
There is also an exceptional form, wi, of the 3rd person (singular and
pliural) of this tense which has the force of (1) is, or arCy habitually/ ^ e.g*.,
hamesh dase wi, such is always the ease, (2) may he, e.g. y kechfere dase wi,
should it ever be so.

Bales for the Conjugation of the Simple Verb.
In the simple verbs of which the conjugation is regular, all the tenses
may be formed from the infinitive ; but, for reasons which will appear
when the irregular rimple verbs come under consideration, it is preferable
to regard the infinitive, present indicative, past imperfect indicative
past participle and past indefinite indicative as '^ principal parts,^^ inde-
pendent of each other, and the present indicative and the past participle
* See f ootnotOi page 23*
26 WAZIRI GRAMMAR.
as being the sources from which the remaining tenses of the verb are
obtained. From the present indicative are formed :—
(i) the future indicative, by merely piefixing wa (or wa wu) in
all persons;
(ii) the imperative, by substituting the termination -a for the
termination -6 in the 2nd person singular, and without any
alteration in the 2nd person plural, the prefix wu being
generally added as well. The imperative, 8rd persons
bingular and pluiul, is identical with the corresponding persons
of the subjunctive, the particle da, however, being prefixed
or interpolated ;
(iii) the subjunctive, by simply prefixing the particle wu in all
persons.
From the past participle, which is itself decUned as a regular adjective
ending in ai, are formed the following tenses :—
(i) The past perfect indicative, by composition with the present
indicative of the auxiliary verb to be,
(ii) The plui)erfect indicative, by composition with the past indefi-
nite indicative of the auxiliary verb to be.
It should be noted that the noun or pronoun which is the logical
subject of the sentence stands in the nominative case with all parts of the
intransitive verb and also with those tenses of the transitive verb which
are formed from the present indicative ; but it stands in the oblique case
with the past imperfect indicative, past indefinite indicative and those
tenses of the transitive verb which are formed from the past participle.
When the subject of the sentence is in the oblique case, the verb agrees in
number and gender with the object. The explanation of course is that
in Pashto, in these tenses, the logical object becomes the grammatical
feubjcct, and that the past participle in consequence of its- adjectival
nature is placed in agreement with the grammatical subject. Thus
" Agiia nil wishtai dai ^' corresponds to the English " I have shot him^ ^'
but means literally "he has been shot by me.'*
The rules for the formation of the Conditional and Potential moodg
of the Simple Verb are given separately on pages 82 to 34. They have
little relation to the other parts of the verb.
Simpk Verbs in -6dcl and *awel.
Attention should be paid to the close relation which exists between
intransitive verbs ending in -gdel* and transitive verbs of the same
• Two verbs iu-edel,— uiehtedcl, to writ^t and woi'weilel, to Acar--bave a transitive
iii(:auiug.
WAZIRI GRAMMAR. 27
root ending in -awel : verbs belonging to the one class Iiave generally,
but not invariably^ a counterpart belonging to the other.
According as the verb in -$del has (1) a passive, (2) an active, or
(3) a subjective meaning, the corresponding verb in -awel v/ill be
found to possess (1) an active, (2) a causative, or (3) an objective moan-
ing, as will appear from the following illustrations : —
(1) joredel, to he made : jorawel, to make.
lagedel, to he struck : lagawel, to strike.
(2) s?;erzedel, to go round : gerzawel, to make to go round.
gha^edel, to speak : zhagbawel, to cause to speak.
(3) (jaredel, to be afraid (oneself): darawel, to frighten {ati other),
namedel, to be named {oneself): namawel^ to name {another).
As remarked in the footnote on page 21, some verbs in -fidel have an
alternative form in -awel, extending only to the infinitive, past parti-
ciple and the tenses formed from the past participle, and this form
though transitive in form and grammatical construction, is intransitive
in meaning ; in a few cases such as arawel, to be overturned, anil
trakawel, to sprout, this irregular form seems to have entirely sup-
planted the form in -$del.
From some Waziri adjectives, especially such as end in a consonant
compound verbs in -fidel and -awel can be formed with corresponding
intransitive and transitive meanings; as the method of formation is
fairly regular, those verbs have generally been omitted from the Vocabu-
lary, their existence being in some cases indicated by an example untler
the adjective from which they are derived. When the adjective ends in

In the above table tbe present indicative is represented by tbe ord
person singular ; tbe past imperfect indicative by the 3rd "person singular
masculine for intransitive verbs, and by the form used with an object in
the masculine singular for transitive verbs ; the past participle (which is
declined in all respects as an adjective ending in -ai, see pa^e 26) by its
nominative singular mascuhne; and the past indefinite indicative by
the same forms as the past imperfect.}
With regard to the past imperfect, it should be noted that the
person or form which appears in this table is the only irregular one of
the tense : the others, both in transitive and intransitive verbs, may be
obtained from the infinitive by adding -a for the feminine singular,
liolhiug for the masculine plural, and -S for the feminine plural, the
-el of the infinitive being sometimes elided in the feminine forms, thus :

32 WAZIBI GRAMMAB.
Infinitive.
The infinitive may be used as a verbal noun ; and as such it is con-
sidered to be masculine and plural, and forms its oblique case either by
the addition of -6 or by the substitution of -6 for -el. The following are
instances of the use of the infinitive as a noun. Boida di de ajizon^ ghaur
krel, it is riff At to give thought to the helpless ; sharop l^el de mizh de
Musulmon^ pa hakk ks]^^ she na di^ it is not well for its Muhammadans
to drink wine. Da tip^k she wishtel ko, that rifle mates good shooting.
As in the case of a noun,* a preposition may be followed either by the
oblique or by the nominative case of the infinitive, e.g., De tre de lidele or
lidel or lid£, depora ze tlelai wan, / had gone to see my uncle ; Drfmau,
pa tlel ksb^ yan, 1 am starting, I am in {the act of) going*
Fast Participle.
It should be noted that;, besides the ordinary form, the past participle
has in the nominative masculine, singular and plural, certain alternative
forms ; e.g.j in mindel, to find, the ordinary masculine singular nomina-
tive of the past participle is mindai or mindelai, while the alternative
forms are minda and mindan. Instances of the use of these forms are •
Dole hete shai minda na shi, nothing can he found here; Weryez do,
na shi watan lidan, it is cloudy, the landscape is not visible. The
alternative form of the plural is identical in appearance with the infini-
tive, e,g,, Jang kshe sari wishtel shi, men are shot 4n battle. In the
singular some verbs have also an alternative form which appears to be
derived from the past indefinite indicative rather than from the infini-
tive, e.g., Tsok das£ ko, agha woya shi, {fhe man) who behaves in such a
way gets beaten.
Conditional.
The only common conditional is an invariable verbal form V7ai>
belonging to the verb to be, which is used with all persons and numbers,
both independently as a present or future tense, and along with parti-
ciples to form a compound past tense. Examples of its use follow ; —
Ke paman na wai, nor wa e dzon na garawan, if it were not mangy it
would not scratch itself.
Ke agha rasedelai na wai, mizh wa wolata werta poti shewiwi, if he
had not arrived we should have waited therefor him.
It will be observed from these specimens that the present or future
conditional is followed by the past imperfect indicative and the past
conditional by the past pluperfect indicative.
A less frequent form of the conditional is obtained by substituting
-ai for the ordinary termination as, Ze che Banni ta na tlai, if I were not
* See page 40.
WA2IRI GRAAIMAR. »S
to go to Bannu ; To ke das^ khabara di na w6yelai, supposing yon did
not say sack a thing.
The conditional is not, however, in common use and its place is
frequently supplied by the subjunctive with or without such words as
chere, ever, etc., and of this many examples will be found in the
Vocabulary similar to the following : —
Ke chfere ze worata dfershan bya wa te tse wuke ? Jf I were to visit
you there what would you do ? lit. If ever I visit you fiere,
what will you do ?
Fotentialv
The potential like the conditional has only two tenses^ a present
and a past. The present potential is expressed by a combination of
the past participle with the preeent tenses of the verb to become
(8hwel),as: —
Ze tlelai shan, / can go. Te i wahelai she ? Can you ieat him ?
Sarai sheza wahelai shi, the man can beat the woman • Sheza sarai
wahelai shi, the woman can beat the man. A^a mizh wahelai shi,
Ae can beat us. Mi^h a^a wahelai shi, we can beat him*
These examples sufficiently illustrate the three rules for the f orm&«
tion of the present potential, 1st that the past participle is used invari-
ably in the masculine nominative singular, 2nd that the verb shwel
agrees with the subject of the sentence in person and number, 3rd that
the subject precedes the object in the sentence.
The following are examples of the past potential which is formed
from the past participle and the past tenses of the verb shweL It will
be seen that in this tense also the form of the past participle is invariable
and that in the case of intransitive verbs the verb shwel agrees with the
subject of the sentence; in the case of tKiUfitive verbs however it
* generally agrees with the object of the sentence : compare page 26 :—
Parin ze tlelai shwelan (or shwan), nen ze nashan tlelai, I was able to
go yesterday, to-day I cannct go. Paros-sazh mi^ agha sarai
merawelai shag, sazh pa Gimbatai kshe . dai, sazh ze na e shaa

der di, mizh chigha na shi pase krelai, long ago tee uere often able
to pursue the Mahsuds, now they have many rifles' and we cannot
pursue them.
* There are ekceptionfl. such as the f olbwing, which seem impossible to taplain ;:
Kifts^ mi na shwai kr^i, I could not utter words.
SI WAZIRI GRAMMAR.
The potential, except in the * piesent tense, is not. mudi used, and
recourse is freely bad to eireumlocutory phrases containing words sueb

Passive Voiee,
The foregoing remarks relate to the active voice; the forma-
tion of the passive from tbe active is a matter of no difficuHj
as it has but two main tenses, a present indicative formed bj
combining the past paiticiple with the present indicative of the
verb to become and a past indefinite indicative similarly compounded
from tbe past participle and the past indefinite indicative of the
verb to become. From the present indicative passive a future indicative
and a subjunctive passive can be formed in the same manner as those
tenses are formed in the active voice by means of the particles wa^ (wn),
and wn ,* similarly a past perfect and pluperfect indicative according to
the ordinary rules.

krel or kawel are of special importance^ and may be studied in the Voca-
bulary« Other examples of their use are : —
Rooheg sbatij he rose for me, i.e., /o meet me, or, ovi of respect for me ;
De pataki na £bo d^wnbosa, take water for yourself out of the flask ;
Flor ta wa w^dnman^ / will go to him, namely, to my father.
Impersonal Verbs.
A principle of general application is that verbs used in an im-
personal sense must invariably be treated as of the 3rd person plural^^
and not as of the Srd person singular, as in English : this rule derives
special importance from tbe fact that verbs of transitive form used with
an intransitive meaning and transitive verbs used without an object t are
considered to be impersonal in those tenses which require the logical
subject to be in the oblique case4 Examples of impersonal verbs are : —
Boida di che ... it m right and proper that ... lit. they are
right and proper that ..•
Wu mi zharel, by me it was wept, lit. 6y me they were wept, i.e.,
/ wept.
Mizh worwedeli di che ... by us it has been heard that, ... lit.
by us they have been heard that, ... i. e., we have heard that.
THE ADVEKB.
The adverb calls for no remark : it is invariable in form and its
comparison is conducted on the same principles as that of the adjective.
An exception to the rule of invariability is the word Ahr, when used
in the sense of ti^ry ; in this case it is inflected like an adjective in syin-
pathy with the adjective which it qualifies, thus :«—
pfer khwor rarai, a v^ry poor man,
P^ra khwora sheza^ a vt-ry poor woman.
The same holds of adjectives used as adverbs to qualify other adjec-
tives, for example, Rette sar^ 6b6, intensely cold water.
Adjectives, as in English, are occasionally used adverbially ; and in
such cases they are inflected Sks adjectives to agree with the substantives
or pronouns to which they refer, e.g, :—
Jilkai tm^ wudareda, the girl stood firmly, lit. firm,
■ — '■■ — ■■ - ■ ■ —
* There is, however, a common impersonal construction for ordinary verbs with the
feminine singnlar, 0.^. Das^ do, it u to; Mo wnpushta, 1 inquired. In this case there is
prohably a word, perhaps ^abara, nnderstood ; if so, the above phrases stand for Das^
}di*ibara do, and Hagi^a ^abajra mo wnpushta.
f Occasionally even when used with an object, as Plor y^ w^r manda krel, his father
ran towards him ; Amonat di w^l^ U^natawel ? why did you misappropriate th§ dspo$it T
This is a eariiras development.
^ The reason no doubt being that the grammatical subject (see page 26) is an abstrac*
tion and therefore impersonal.
VVAZtRI GRAMMAR. S9
The prepositions de and 6 aie frequently prefixed to adverbs of place'
without altering their meaning^ as wdrchane or e worchanei outside.
THE FBEPOSITION.
The fHinpIe prepositions are few in number : they are !—
*\>6, bS...iiaj b6 de.na, or bS la..»na,
without, devoid of, except.
bondi or pa...bondi, above, upon,
t de or C, of.
de...depora^for.
kara or de...kara> in the house of.
kshS or pa...k8h0 in^ into.
londi, de...londi^ or pa...londi> und^r.
pa, on, upon,
pa...iia^ than.
pa80, de...pa80| or pa^.^pasS^ behind^ after.
peri, pori or de... peril d0...pori> across.
na^ de...na9 la...xia or tar.. .na, from, with
relation to.
sara^ de...8ara, or pa...8arai with,
ta or wa...ta, to.
^ ZO^ai with, in possession of.
The single prepositions b6, de^ 6 and pa precede the word they govern :
bondi^ kara, ksbSi londi> pasS^ peri or pori, na, sara, ta and zokbft fol-
low it : while the remainder, consisting of two parts each, enclose it, e.^.— -
de sari of tie man.
sari nskf/rom the man.
wa sari ta, to the man.
A number of compound or secondary prepositions are formed -by
combination of adverbs with the simple prepositions de or 6 and
na. Such ai*e . • . na awwal, before ; de . • . makhamakh, in front
of\ etc., etc. These compound prepositions are distinguishable from pre-
positions proper chiefly by their incapacity to combine with the particles
ro, dfer and wfer (see page 16). Thus, Pa mo pase and Ropase, behind me^
* Frequently compounded with the word it governs as^ fie-adaba> mitho^t politeness^
imjfoiite.
t There is also a form de . • • na^ or 6 ... na, e.^. Da bogh de to na dai ke de cba na
dai ? is i^i garden yourst or whose is it f Da woe i mo na dai, thai horse is mine, Jn
this form only the intonation distingnisbes the particle na from the negative particle of the
same form. Occasionally the preposition de or 6 is suppressed altogether, as J u wore lauina,
the harvesting of the maize, and in some of these case's there is an approximation to the
English couaponnd word, as in mezzi tipak, match-lock. The omission of the prepositiolt'
may also occur with pronouns, e.ff., mo dai, U is mine.
4{0: WiiZIRI GRAMMAB.
both exist, but Pa mo ua vroudii before me, has no such oounterpart as
'' Rovrondi/'
•
The preposition may be used with either the nominative or the oblique
case of the substantive to which it is attached. The preposition pa
appears to be more frequently followed by a uomiuative than by an
oblique ; but with most of the other prepositions the oblique is preferred.
The personal pronouns invariably &tand in the oblique when accompanied
by a preposition ; from this and from the analogy of Peshawar Pashto it
may be inferred that the nse of the nominative with prepositions is a
colloquialism which in Waziri has partially superseded the proper gram-
matical construction.
It may be noted that in Waziri pa S> on Aim, her^ etc., is contracted
to pS| and that pa alone is sometimes used instead of pg.
The word zenS (see Vocabulary) is an adverb rather than a preposi-
tion, though it is capable of being used in certain prepositional construc-
tions.
THE CONJUNCTION
AND
THE INTEEJECTION.
Both of these are invariable in form and are used as in English.
Some of the principal interjectious are ^—
(1) those of assent, 6 or h6^ t/es ! alla^ indeed ! 6 rahmata,
exactly so !
(2) those of negation, na> no ! or, more politely, na rawo^ excuse
me !
(8) those oE wonder or admiration, ballS (generally reduplicated
balls ballS)^ extraordinary ! bechS (generally reduplicated
bechfi bech6)> remarkable !
(4) those of approval, kshelai; good ! shabash or shobashfi,
Iravo !
(5) those of sorrow, annoyance, weariness, etc., bai hai; alas !
what a pity ! heigho !
(6) those of disapproval, 6 tobai fie ! for shame !
(7) those without a definite meaning, the function of which is to
attract attention or introduce other words, 6 or hg, oh !
ho ! yarra, / say.
There are also various words used in driving or frightening animals^
or in ordering them to stand still, which are of the nature of interjections
and will be found in the vocabulary j such are ash^ bo^ harra^ hoOf

APPETOIX III.
Some Leading Waziri Oharaoteristios;
This essay on Was^iri characteristics refers primarily to the Waziris
of Tochi,but much of it applies without qualification to the other inhabit-
ants of Waziristan^ including the Mahsuds. While however the
Mahsud is, so to speak, more of a Waziri than the Waziri proper, the
Dauri of Tochi is considerably less of one, and a few separate remarks
have accordingly been added on the subject of the Dauris. The Waziris
of Bannu are rapidly ceasing to be Waziris : ease and plenty have con-
verted some of them into respectable and law-abiding subjects, while
contact with Bannuchi civilisation and the neighbourhood of a demoralising^
city have, it is to be feared, sapped at the same time the best qualities of
nearly all. The Waziris of Kurram, especially the Kabul Khels, in many-
points resemble their northern neighbours the Zaimushts, Afridis and
others rather than the various branches of their own tribe, and they witL
the Waziris of Bannu muat be understood to be excluded from the scope
of the following remarks.
The present character of the Waziris must not be regarded as fixed^
It is in part the product of circumstances and surroundings which, witk
the British occupation of part of Waziristan, have already begun to
undergo transformation. The actual state of Waziri civilisation is
remarkably backward, extraordinarily so indeed when the proximity of the
tribe to the Derajat and their old established intercourse with that region
are considered. Muhammadanism,, too, has done less for them than for
most of its votaries, and probably the most unsparing critics and savage
detractors of the Waziri will be found among his co-religionists. The
Waziri name is execrated, as no other is elsewhere, by neighbouring
^uhammadan tribes j and Muhammadans from a settled district often
regard Waziris as utter barbarians and seem inclined to deny their title
to be considered as belonging to the faith. A travelled Khostwal, who
had visited Mecca and was robbed by Waziris on his way home within a
few miles of the Khost border, gave it as his opinion that the robbers of
the Hedjaz were gentlemen in comparison with those of Waziristan. A
learned Syrian of Damascus, whom hard fate had brought to the Tochi,
was heard to compare them in one breath to dogs, lions, fleas and several
other objectionable animals. This Syrian had the further misfortune to
be associated with the well-known Eippat Khan, in deciding a jirga case,
and was by no means favourably impressed with the leading Malik of
^\
APPENDIX TO WAZIRI VOCABULAEY. 819.
the Mohmit Khela^ who evidently figured in his imagination less as a
human being than as a ghoul or monster out of the Arabian Nights
*^ He has/^ exclaimed the Haji in Arabic, '^ the lips of a camel, the brain
of an elephant and teeth like bits of stone ; ^' and words failed him
to describe the noisiness, obstinacy and utter unreasonableness of his
Waziri colleague.
But although it is diificult to make any impression on the Wazari, he
is not entirely proof against ameliorating influences when they can be
brought to bear upon him in a concentrated form during some length of
time. A Waziri who has been in Government service for a few years,
especially if he has come in personal contact with British officers, is
many steps removed from the ordinary tribal savage. The following
incident will serve as an illustration. In the spring of 1893 a British
officer went shooting from the Saidgi post with several orderlies, one or
two of whom were Waziris in Government service. A Waziri shepherd,
who was grazing his flock near the path along which the party passed,
remarked to the orderlies in a low voice, * ' Why do you not shoot, the
European and takihis rifle? I will show you a road by which you can
escape.'^ A little further on the party sat down and the shepherd,
evidently thinking that his plan was about to be put in action, came and
squatted down beside them. The result of his suggestion must have been
surprising to himself, for hardly was he seated when a Yusufzai orderly
went up to him, disarmed him of his knife, slapped his face and dragged
him about on the ground by the hair of his head; when the Yusufzai
finally let him go he continued, in the height of his indignation, to
throw stones at the man till he was out of range. The Waziris of the
officer^s party joined in the laugh against the shepherd and admitted that
he deserved his punishment, but they did so half-heartedly and as if con-
ferring a favour. Here were three stages of development admirably
personified: first, the primitive Waziri who sees in every stranger an
opportunity for murder and robbery ; second, the slightly civilised Waziri
who sets his face against such practices, but has not entirely lost sym-
pathy with them ; and lastly, the Pathan, a British subject of the third
or fourth generation, who is hardly more capable than an Englishman of
entering into a Waziri's feelings on the subject of unprovoked sixid
wanton crime. It is to be hoped that, by this occurrence the sl^epherd
himself was considerably enlightened, and that the sentiments of his
grandchildren, should he have any, will in consequence resemble those
of the Yusufzai orderly rather than those of their own progenitor. It
would be unfair to the present generation of Waziris, however, not to
admit that many of them are more advanced than the orderlies who
rejected, though they did not resent, the shepherd's villainous suggestion,
and it should be added that a few are as civilised as almost any common
-820 APPENDIX TO WAZIRI VOCABULARY.
Pathans^ though these fayourable speoimens^ unfortunately^ occur mostly
among the degenerate Waziris of Bannu.
To understand what the Waziri is to-day we must consider what
his country was till lately and what it must^ to a great extent^ for ever
remain. The correspondence between the man and his country is in the
case of Waziristan too striking to be ignored and too obvious to be
denied. Waziristan is in the first place poor and barren^ in the second
pastoral, in the third rugged and difficult of access^ and in the fourth
almost devoid of running water.
The poverty of the country and the effort required to gain a sub-
sistence in it have made the Waziris a hardy and enduring race. Their
physique is uncommonly good^ and though on the average short of
stature^ extremely tall and large m6n are to be found amongst them*
They are generally deep-chested and compact of build^ with a powerful
muscular development participated in by the whole body and not con-
fined to the lower limbs as with some hill-tribes of the Himalayas. As
mountaineers the Waziris would probably hold their own with any other
Fathan tribe of the North-Western Frontier. The dependence of their
hard physical condition upon their way of life i/ proved by the change
which they undergo when well fed and deprived of strong exercise in the
open air. Confined in jail they rapidly become stouter, younger in
appearance and fairer in complexion ; but when first released they are
short of breath and easily tired by exertion. Handsome fa^es of a hard
type are not uncommon among the Waziris, and if they wear their hair
long this is a peculiarit}^ to which it is possible for the stranger's eye
to become accustomed. Unfortunately, however, such is the squalor of
their clothes and persons, proverbial even among Faihans, that no European
can find pleasure in contemplating them except at a respectful distance.
While the poverty of the country has undoubtedly made the Waziri
a fine human animal, it seems doubtful whether, as some author-
ities would persuade us, it is also responsible for his being an inveterate
robber and thief. There are poor countries in the world where life and the
rights of property are thoroughly respected, poverty notwithstanding ;
such are Norway in Europe^ and in Asia, parts of the Kohatand Peshawar
Districts which lie on the same frontier as Waziristan.
The effects of a pastoral life are much less open to dispute than the
effects of poverty. Some of the Waziri tribes have practically no cultiv-
able land at all ; and a few of them, such as the Tol Ehels who are all
either herdsmen or rcbbers, actually live in tents the whole year round and
though they return to the same haunts season after season, have no fixed
village or abode anywhere. Extremes of climate and the necessity for
the flocks and herds to follow the pasture to the high uplands in summer
and to the lower grazing-grounds in the cold weather have perpetuated
APPENDIX TO WAZIRI VOCABULARY. 321
Domadio habiiiB among many sections^ with consequent restlessnew,
improyideuoe and incapacity for sustained exertion. The facilities offered
for commission of crime by membership of a community which frequently
changes its location and sometimes has settlements simultaneously iu
places two or three days^ journey apart are so obvious that they need only
be mentioned.
It is^ however^ the rugged and impassable nature of the country and
ifcs geographical position^ rather than its barrenness or pastoral character^
which have most profoundly influenced the Waziri in his relations both
with his fellow-tribesmen and with his neighbours. Except in a few of the
highest hills^ which are well- wooded^ the country is a mass of rock and
stones bearing a poor growth of grass and thinly sprinkled with dark
evergreen bushes ; progress in every direction, except on devious paths
known to the natives, is obstructed by precipices or by toilsome stony
ascents ; and knowledge of the topography, a mere labyrinth of intricate
ranges and valleys, comes only as the result of long acquaintance.
Except in a few favoured spots and on the roads constructed by Govern*
ment a horse cannot cover half a mile at a pace faster than a trot with-
out danger of lameness.* The consequences, both bad and good, of such
natural surroundings are easy to trace. Broken ground and tortuous
ravines, by making crime easy and precaution against attack difficult, have
fostered violence among the people and developed in them an extraordinary
faculty of prudence and alertness. The inaccessibility of one place from
another^ together with the slendemess of even the pastoral resources,
promotes dispersion of population ; and communities and individuals who
live isolated from one another in time, if hardly in distance, have become,
in consequence of their isolation, independent, self-reliant and democratic
in sentiment. Through the inaccessibility of his own country to low-
landers, combined with the proximity of open and fertile tracts inhabited
by races of inferior stamina, the Waziii has developed into a confirmed
raider; and the passage through his country of routes connecting
Afghanistan with India has made him, by frequent opportunity, a heredi-
tary highwayman as well. It is this contact, under geographical condi-
tions favourable to himself, with races of deficient energy and aggres*
siveness that has endowed the Waziri with the insufferable swagger and
blustering arrogance which principally endear him to strangers. Given the
above data with their immediate. consequences, it is not hard to realise
why the Waziri, cut off from civilisation and progress, has remained
a neglected barbarian, loathed by his neighbours and despising them* \

■ ■■■■.. ■ ■ ^
The scarcity of water in WaziiUtan is not without its effect npon
the inhabitants^ but that effect is naturally one cbseryable in the manners
rather than in the minds and morals of the pfople. The writer cannot
remember that during a two years' sojourn in Tochi he ever surpri^^d a
Waziri washing: his body, except in the formal and by no means cleans*
ing manner^ which religion dictates as a preliminary to prayer. Once
only.he came upon Waziris washing their clothes, and that in a pool so
secluded that it almost seemed as if the tnen felt themselres to be trans-
' gressors against the best traditions o£ their country and peoplci. In
extenuation of this Wassiri failing it can only be pleaded that large
stretches of Waziristan are almost destitute of running water, and that the
scanty springs cannot, of course, be contaminated by bathing or washing
clothes; besides which^ the idea of ablution is not kept present to the
mind by the sight of water as it is in a country where water abounds.
Perhaps the most remarkable fact in connection with the universal and
absolute want of cleanliness among V\ aziris is that it seems to have no
prejudicial etfect upon their constitution ; and it would be difficult to
maintain in Waziristan, in argument with living proofs of the contrary,
the modern European doctrine that cleanliness is a necessary condition of
' health. Probably no Waziris, except those who live on the banks of the
Kurram, know how to swim, and certain it is that many of the tribe have
never seen u oollet.tion of water large enough to drown a man, except
during the floods which accompany storms in the hilla and subside
immediately after.
Enough has been said to show how the character of the Waziri may
be in part explained by the influence of his surroundings ; but it must be
added that he also possesses qualities which cannot be connected in any
direct way with the climate or physical conformation of Waziris^tan.
These features of his character may be regarded either as inherent, or as
having their origin in some earlier home of tl.e race, though unlike many
other frontier tribes (as we may remark in passing] the Waziris have no
traditions, of a. home-land older than that they now inhabit. Such
unaccountable qualities are the Waziri's light-heartedness and sense of
humour, his hot temper and his dogged pursuit of revenge, and th^ are
the more r^narkable as being inconsistent respectively with his doU
materialism, his calculating wile and his fickleness in most schemes and
pureaiit&
Sodally the Waziri is a good companion, being easy-tempered> f end of
conversation and a close observer of human character, with a quick eye
for the comio element whenever it presenljs itstlf and a ready laugh.
In fact the laugh is so ready that from a large party of Waziris in good
temper it is never long absent, and the merest trifle is enough to excite ao.
outburst. On one occasion a Waziri who appeared with a claim before^

the Political Officer in the Tochi, after stating that he Was a Razoni by
caste^ gravely added in a moment of mental aberration that his father
had been a Bazoni too : the whole assembly were instantly convulsed with
inerriment at this — especially in the East — so snperfluotis rcfmark, and their
amusement was redoubled when the Razoni^ on being questioned by the
Political Officer before he had time to recover his composure, failed to recol-
liect the name of his own grandfather and stood overwhelmed with the
deepest shame and confusion. An equal perception of the lighter side of
things was shown by a Mahsud lad at Jandola during the Mahsud block-
ade, who happened to pass the Commissioner taking an evening stroll.
Instead of salaaming, and without slackening his pace or removing his
musket from his shoulder, he slapped himself several times on that part of
his anatomy which might be supposed to be sufPeriug most from the scarcity
of food in the hills ; this was a salutation, a delicate compliment to the
power of the Commissioner as head of the blockade and a pithy comment
on the political situation all in one, and it was accompanied by a look of
the most portentous gravity which made the performance irresistibly comic.
An elderly Waziri frequently possesses a penetrating and genial humour
which lends great charm to his descriptions of men and events, and it is
often a treat to hear a grey-bearded reprobate rehearse, with keen enjoy-
ment of every detail, some incident which he has witnessed, a well-arranged
ambuscade or assassination for instance, or the progress of negotia-
tions between two parties each of them trying to out-do the otlier
in duplicity. It would be a mistake, however^ to imagine that an
engaging manner or a pleasant address is common among Waziris. On
the contrary their manners are summary, not to say bi-utal, and a
frequent mode among them of attracting the attention of a man who
does not hear when he is first addressed is to throw a small stone at or
towards him. Still Waziris are capable of a very insinuating address
upon occasion, and it is sometimes difficult to treat with proper severity the
old man who caresses an imaginary beard upon your chin, assuring you
at the same time with plausible logic that this unpleasantness between
friends is the result of a misunderstanding or the work of mischief-
makers; and scarcely a less effort may be required to punish the hand-
some^ upstanding youth who, after flinging his turban in yonr' lap,
collapses at your feet with locks almost touching the ground, skilfully
admitting only part of his fault but praying for complete forgive-
ness. These extreme forms of self-abasement, it should be added, are
reserved for great occasions; and the speed with which the performer
recovers bis equanimity after the exhibition, especially if his request has
been granted, is almost startling.
Of the hot'headness of the Waziri, the attack on troops at Maizar in
1897 was an example on tbe large scale: the afihir was certainly

uihpremeditated by the great majority of those who took part in it,
and even the ringleaders^ had they stopped to weigh the probable
confiequences to the Madda Khel tribe of their advertising in such
a fashion their personal grievances^ would hardly have ventured to
commence the fray. Other instances of Waziri rashness will come under*
notice when we reach the subject of Waziri dances, and the writer
recollects a case m point when, in December 1 898, a Mahsud and a Darwesh
Khel jirga fell foul of each other at Bannu City. The cause was
a trifling dispute between a Mahsud boy and a Darwesh Khel Malik of
no importance, yet in less than a minute from the receipt of provocation
respectable Darwesh Khel headmen were rushing to and fro like lunatics
hurling stones and brickbats, and a general riot was not averted with-
out difficulty and the use of a little force. Having seen a number of
frays of this kind, the writer is convinced that the "Waziri, from the
moment a blow is struck on either side, '' sees red,'' loses all thought of
consequences and ceases to be accountable for his actions. The following
little story, extracted from the Tochi Political Diary of the 8th March
1899, will shew how insanely a Waziri can act upon sudden provocation.
'^ Oarare, Malikshahi, owed money to Ret, Wruke Jani Khel, and
some time ago Ret seized a pistol belong to Garare and kept it as a pledge
for repayment of the debt. One day in the middle of February, while Ret
was out, Garare visited his house and took away the pistol. Ret on
learning what had happened armed himself, and went in pursuit of Garare.
The Wruke chiyha turned out, and so did that of the village of Alias,
Tori Khel, but before they came up Ret had stabbed Garare and Garare
had shot Ret with the pistol. Both died almost on the spot.^'
Closely connected with the hot-headedness of the Waziri, and perhaps
its hidden spring, is his absurd vanity which finds contempt or ridicule
impossible to bear, and resents with violence the slightest insult, or
indeed any act whatever intended by the doer to place the object of it
in an undignified or unfavourable light. Often hardly distinguishable
from the Waziri's vanity is his ** sharm '^ or " shame '' (Cluaere, false
shame), a highly commendable virtue on the possession of which
the Waziri, like other Pathans, prides himself; while the non-Pathan
portion of the human race are unable so much as to uiiderstand
in' what this quality consists. Sometimes ** sharm '^ approaches self-
respect, at other times it resembles modesty, occasionally it might
be identified with shyness, and how and again perhaps it means nothing
more nor less than conventional etiquette. If a Pathan in a social matter
behaves either better or worse than another man would have done in the
a.
sanie circumstances and is asked the reason, he is sure to ascribe his singu-
larity id the ** sharm '^ animating him, to which ordinary human clay is a
»tirapger. Thus ^' shai m ^* forbids a Waziri to mention his fathef s name.

and in this respect it goes further than the '' sharm *' of other Pathans
who do not fail to rally him on this peculiar custom^ forgetting or not
aware that some of their own kinds of '^ sharm '' are no less absui'd in the
eyes of the outer world. One more instance of Waziri '^ sharm *' will
suffice. The son of a Tochi Malik deserted from the Levies taking with
him the horse supplied by his father for the Governmeiit dervioe. The
Political' Officer suggested to the Malik that he should recover the horse
at home and send a servant back with it as his nominee to fill the vacancy
in the Levies. The Malik entirely concurred as to the suitableness of the
arrangement, but requested that the Political Officer would formally
order him to carry it out, otherwise, he said, his " sharm ^' would prevent
him from doing so. What possible feeling was present to the man's
mind, and how the word '^ sharm *^ should in this case be translated, are
questions left for the reader to determine.
In the Waziri, at least, '^ sharm '^ is no bar to shameless greed, and
the venality and inordinate love, of money which possess ahnost every
individual are in themselves a strong guarantee against the Waziri
tribe becoming a politically uncontrollable body. A conmiunity each
9iember of which prefers his separate interests to the general weal
can never be formidable, apart even from the question of material
resources, to a strong government with large powers of punishment
and reward. But politics do not come within the range of this essay,
and to explain the character of the Waziri no more need be said
than that , a poor man in many another country would refuse a
considerable sum of money, which he scrupled to accept, with less
reluctance than a well-to-do Waziri would experience in declining
a single rupee. Aliyae, a leading Malik of the Tori Khels, since dead,
was in 1899 presented with an embroidered sheepskin coat as a reward
for good service to Government, and with the acquisitive faculty (as ever)
on the alert, he glanced roimd the room for something not his own in which
to carry it away. The first suitable object he spied was a cotton shawl
belonging to a clerk o{ the Political Officer's establishment, and annexing
this he packed ^^po9tin in it, slung it over his shoulder and proceeded
to leave the room. The owner approached to remonstrate, but Aliyas
only raised an elbow to jostle him in the face and continued on his way
without even looking round. This was an act of grasping meanness, but
regard being had to the character of the actor, it is probable that a sen«e
of grim humour may have mingled with it.
The obstinacy and unreasonableness of the Waziri who has a point
of his own to gain are among the most salient features of his character^
but these qualities from their nature are difficult to exemplify by an
anecdote. A Waziri jirga who have made up their minds to resist th9
intentions of Government or of a Government officer, are, perhaps, one ol

the most dificalt bodies to moye, and one of the most impraetioable, io
the whole range of terrestrial politics. While thmr ingenious heads teem
with arguments in favour of their own riew, to which their public men
sre capable of giving clear and logical expression^ they feign so success*
fully not to perceive the force of the arguments on the other side that
the officer who presents them is^ if inexperienced^ apt to be* shaken^
4)uite nnneoe88»rily^ as to the rei^sonabjeness of his own demands. The
feeling that there is^ after all^ little or no difference between black and
white is familiar to everyone who has been obliged in the course of duty
to spend days at a time in discussing controversial subjects with Waziri
jirgas. Frequently^ however^ this obstinacy defeats its own purpose,
and a tribe biing down punishment upon their head.^, or an individual
involves himself in fine^ imprisonment and other troubles, by a contuma-
cious refusal to yield on what was^ so far as any Waziri was conoemed^ a
mere side-issae*
Another characteristic of Waziris^ among the first to attract the
notice of the stranger and among the last to linger in the memory of
one who has known them^ is the extravagant manner in which they
exiistgerate benefits conferred or services rendered by themselvef^ and the
frequency with which they recur to them. It is related that a Waziri
and a Bannuchi were friends^ and that once, in an evil day for the
Bannucht, the Waziri presented him with a rafter for repairing the
roof of his house. From that time forward the Waziri, who used like
many of his tribe to attend regularly the Bannu Friday fair, began to
visit the house of the Bannuchi every week, and quickly turning the
conversation to the subject of the rafter he would praise its goodness an<i
dilate on the trouble he had taken to cut it and bring it from the hills.
In the course of a few weeks he rendered the obligation so intolerable
to the Bannuchi that the latter snatched the rafter out of his roof,
bringing the roof down, flung it at the Waziri's feet and requested him to
remove both the wood and his own presence at once and for ever.
The high animal spirits which the Waziri undoubl edly possesses
may be studied to advantage in the public dances held at certain
fixed places in Waziristan upon the Id. The ceremony takes place on a
smooth piece of ground, in the middle of which is planted a post to mark
the centre of the movement. Bound the post revolves to stirring music
a dense crowd composed, it may be, of several hundred men dressed in
holiday attire and nearly all armed with knife, pistol, sword or gun. The
mass turns with the left sides of the performers towards the centre of the
danoe so as to give freer play to their sword-arms. Close to the pivot
pass the old and elderly men, walking sedately ; outside them circle the
youths and the men in their prime, wild with excitement, waving tlidr
weapons and describing mad antics; while round the margin of the
i

wheels cJEireer the mounted men of the tribe with brandished lances^
displaying their horseman ship. The agility and enthuBiaem of the
younger dancers is a sight never to be forgotten : as the music quickens
some of them seem now and then to spring nearly their own height into
the air, while others advance by a most graceful movement with a sword
in each hand, raising the one and lowering the other alternately in time
with the stBp of the dance. Unfortunately these dances are extremely
dangerous on account of the high tension and loaded fire-arms of the
performers. They generally verge from the very outset on the bloodshed
with which they not infrequently end. So in 1897 a levy sepoy whc
was taking part ia the Tappi dance slipped and fell^ and his musket,
discharging itself accidentally, killed one of the other dancers. The crowd
precipitated themselves on the unfortunate sepoy and would^ but for the
intervention of a levy jemadar and some men of the Ist Punjab Cavalry,
have stretched him out and cut his throat then and there according to
tribal custom, for by Waziri ^' nirkh'^ a life must be paid for with a life:
even if the firi^ be taken by accident. As it was, the cavalry party who
rescued the man had to retire fightinsr and a barber belonging to the
regiment fell into the hands of the Waziris and was killed by them.
1'he writer was witness of a somewhat similar occurrence on the 22nd of
April 1899 at a spot between the Khiddar Khel village of Ziarat and
the Madda Ehel village of Sheranni. ^ The tribes are at deadly
enmity, and the boundary between these two particular villages is dis-
puted ; notwithstanding this it is the custom to hold the rival dances
within sight, and a very short distance, of one another. On the- occasion
in question the Khiddar Khels, perhaps three hundred strong, were
seized by a sudden s^pirit of mischief and leaving their customary
dancing- place rushed in a body to a piece of flat ground considerably nearer
the Madda Khel border and began dancing defiantly there. Directly
the*Madda-^hels, of whom there were about six hundred, saw what had
happened, they broke off their dance and began to advance threateningly
to^Aards the Khiddar Khels. Two Madda Khel Maliks were sent to
turn their fellow tribesmen back, but failed and returned trying to
minimise their failure to the Political Ofiicer by saying that only a
friendly joint dance was intended. A violent collision seemed inevit*
able ; but by one of those unaccountable freaks to which the Waziri
temperament is liable the two hostile crowds merged in one and danced .
together peaceably for half an hour. Jn fact the dcmce hiid broken up
and the tribes were separating in perfect amity when a sudden volley
was heard, confusion reigned for one moment, and the next the Khiddar
Khels were to be seen rushing to the cover of their village, while the'
Madda Khels took up the best positions they could find in the neighbour-
ing ravines. Then began on both sides a brisk fusillade, whioh lasted for
M8 APPENDIX TO WAZIRI VOCABtTLARY.
about quarter of an hour, till some holy men came forth from their
houses carrying Kurans on their heads and passing between the combat-
ants put an end to the fight. Several men were wounded, but only one
mortally ; and some Khiddar Khel camels, which the Madda Khels had
with great presence of mind raided during the brief continuance of the
fightj were returned the next day.
Of the recklessness of the Waziri we have had several examples, and
his animal vigour few will deny ; but the question remains whether he
possesses real courage, a quaUty that some authorities are disinclined to
concede in his favour. It may be admitted at once that be has not that
self-sacrifioing courage which, to speak generally, seems almost a preroga-
tive of the white man, though it is not inherent even in all European
nations. The Waziri will not expose himself to danger in a quarrel
egccept in so far as he considers the quarrel his own ; and even in hostili-
ties waged on his own behalf he shuns danger as far as possible, making
it his main object to fight safely and to overcome the enemy by taking
him at a complete disadvantage. This, however, is probably not due to
fear, or if partly to fear, yet not eo much to that feeling as to a sense that
by giving the enemy an opportunity of killing or defeating him he is
playing the enemy^s game. The Waziri fears dishonour as much or more
than death, and seeing no shame in flight or treachery he resorts to both,
precisely in order to avoid what he considers the real disgrace of being
openly worsted. In fact the Waziris in this matter present a remarkable
parallel to the Navarrese irregulars who fought for Don Carlos in Spain
thirty years ago, of whom Thieblin wrote* :—" This running away
does not appear to them as anything objectionable. You cannot
make them understand that it is a flight ; in their eyes it is simply an
escape by means of which they get the beet of their enemy ; * for the
enemy^s evident intention was to slaughter a number of us,' would
argue the Navarrese, ' and through our escape he got snubbed/ This
view seems to be implied in their very language, for the process of
withdrawing from the enemy^s fire is described neither as kwr (to fly)
nor as correr (to run), but as escajoarse (to escapfe, a verb neuter)."
Spain may furnish yet another analogy to Waziristan one day. Now
that the Waziris, especially the Mahstd tribe, are well armed with
modem rifles, it is not improbable, should another military expedition
against them be found necessary, that they would fight and that their
tactics would very cl6sely resemble those of the Spanish guerillas in the
Peninsular War, described by De S^gur, the aide-de-camp of Napoleon,
in these words :—'' Like the Turks, whose defects and qualities they
possess, these people can only defend themselves steadily from behind

APPENDIX TO WAZIRI VOCABULARY. S2S
TVftlls; they do not hold their ground in the open, feeling no shame
in turning their backs, scattering themselves and running to hide
in their mountains. However, as they have nogr eat attachment for
their miserable habitations, and live upon very little, if they take flight
and find refuge in their rocks, they do not lose hope and abandon their
cause, but they go there to multiply the warfare, to transform it into a
succession of struggles on the enemy's flank and rear, which are all
traps^ surprises and assassinations/^ A Waziri brought to bay, however
will fight desperately : this seems to prove that he has no real want of
physical courage, and it is a fact to be carefully borne in mind by anyone
who may have to approach a wounded "Waziri after a skirmish. The
wiiter has seen a "Waziri raider, powerless to escape and almost disabled
who might Ivave surrendered by throwing up his hands^ shoot instead at
his punuers as they came up ; when they had almost reached him, he
made a second attempt to fire, but his strength failed and the rifle
dropped from his grasp ; he then drew his knife and with nerxeless
hands tried to force it into his own breast. Evidently this man dis-
dained either to be killed by the enemy or to fall into their hands alive.*
We pass now from a review of Waziri character in the abstract to
examine a few of those institutions and customs in which the character
of the people most eloquently declares itself.
It will have been observed that in the foregoing remarks fanaticism
has not been attributed to the Waziri, and there are excellent reasons for
thinking that he is not infected with that distemper to any great degree.
His religion is of an unemotional and materialistic cast, and he does not
even comply with all the ordinary formalities of the Mubammadan faith
for, though lie is fairly assiduous in his prayers and ablutions, he is not
infrequently uncircumcised. Mullahs seem to exercise but Kttle ascen-
dancy over him ; and those who, like the Mullah Powindah and the
Mullah Amzullah, have some influence derive it rather from their position
in politics than from their religious reputation. That the Mahsuds in
1898 not only slew Namdar, the Sheikh of the Bittannis, but also
inflicted on him the further indignity of cutting off his head is enough
to show how cheap Waziris hold sacred men when if suits their conve-
nience. Some power, however, seems to be permitted to leading
Mullahs for the purpose of doing justice upon criminals whose victims
are destitute of natural protectors. Thus it happened that, when the
Mullah Powindah was returning with a lashiar from the Gararai
country about the beginning of 1899, his assistance was invoked at
Maidan by a Mahsud widow who complained that her brother-in-law
• More lately Lieutenant Hennessy has been killed bjr a wounded Waziri (1900), and

880 APPENDIX TO WAZIRI VOCABULARY.
one AslikATy wished to marry her a^nfit her will, and had slain her two
sons because she persisted in refusing him ; the Mullah is said thereupon
to have destroyed with fiie several houses belon^ng to Ashkar, but two
of his folio wine were burned to^ death in executing his orders. Again,
to be a fanatical Muhammadan demands a certain amount of sympathy
and intercourse with co-religionists, whereas the Waziri, as already
shown^ is the b^ie noir of his Muhammadan neighbours. For these
reasons it seems at the present moment inoonceivable that Waziris
should ever undertake a holy war, pure and simple ; and should they
at any future time combine for such a purpose, it will probably be
found that in reality either the hope of plunder or dislike of foreign
intruders drew them to the standard of Islam, and that religion was
nothing more than the rallying-cry. The Waziris have the same respect
as ordinary Muhammadans for shrines and the graves of rept^ed saints,
and make prayers uid offerings thereat for protection and benefits which
they hope to receive. Their other superstitions also appear to be simple
and harmless, and though they admit the existence of fairies, genres and
other supernatural beings they never allow their belief in suoh creatures
to interfere with the practical affairs of life.
By no means secondary to the influence of religion upon any Waziri
community is the influence exerted on it by the women. The relations
of the sexes form in Waziristan a subject to which the attention of the
Political Officer is frequently directed, for out of those relations spring
many of the crimes and disturbances which trouble the country. The
Waziri woman spends the greater part of her life in the open air and on
hill-side, and performs almost as much of the hard physical work of the
household as her husband, to whom she is often little if at all inferior
in brute strength. This mode of life seems to engender a presence of
mind, a fertility of resource and a wilfulness, which added to a rough
but not unattractive appearance and to a distinctly immoral tendency, —
too frequently exemplified in practice for its existence to admit of
doubt, — make up a personality that readily becomes a dangerous focus
of jealousies and dissensions. -The frailty of the Waziri woman may
be due to the freedom of her movements as a shepherd's wife in a
thinly populated country or it may be attributed to the fact that
she has no voice in the selection of her husband ; but be the explanation
of her misconduct what it may, there can be no doubt as to its fatal
results. It would probably be no exaggeration to say that hardly
a week passes in Waziristan in which blood is not shed on account
of a woman, nor ever a month without a murder of which some moun*
tain Helen is the direct or the indiiect cause. A story told by Madd
Akbar, chief malik of the Tori Khels, forms the second appendix of
this book ; if not true it is probably founded on fact, and it admirably
APPElSJDIX TO WAZIRI VOCABULARY. 881
illustrates some of the most strikiDg characteristics of the Waziri woman.
If, however, wives in Waziristan are apt to be untrue and unscrupuloPB,
husbands on their part are vigilant, suspicious and prone to jealousy
in an extraordinary degree. Their vengeance is deadly and does not
always wait for proof. The ordinary punishment of adultery is to put
to death the woman and to cut off half the right foot of the man;
or if the guilty parties are taken in the act^ no objection can be raised
a<$cording to custom if both are slain (together. The number of men
who have been relieved of a foot, by a neat slanting cut from the front
of the ankle backwards and .downwards to the heel, is astonishing ;
and in former days permanent pain and lameness was a common result.
Now however these mutilated limbs provide young British surgeons
in frontier posts with excellent opportunities of practising PirigofPs
operation, and many are rendered more or lees serviceable aj^ain by
European science. The unskilfulness and haste of the Waziri operators^
a foot-cutting incident not infrequently cost the adulterer his life.
In one Tochi case the friends of the aggrieved party suddenly invaded
the co-respondent's house, where they found him lying on a bed and
immediately surrounded him. The man was observed by some visitors
seated in the court-yard to struggle and howl like one possessed, but
none of them could see what took place or imagined it to be anything
worfee than friendly horseplay ; not till two minutes later, when the
strangers vanished as suddenly as they had appeared, did the visitors
discover that their unlucky host had in the interim been deprived of
a foot. The victim of this retaliation sank rapidly and died in a few
hours. Two extracts from the Tochi Political Diary, an official but by
no means prosaic record, will serve to illustrate the readiness with
which in Waziristan deadly feuds arise out of the misbehaviour of
women : —
'* Before the British occupation of Daur, Mir Khan, Shogi Tori Khel,
was suspected of btirg in love with the wife of Bori, the nephew of
. Zakam, Shogi. The woman's husband compelled her to poison her lover
under threat of being herself put to death if she did not. On the 4th of
March, in revenge for the death of Mir Khan, his father Idak, assisted
by Ahmad Gul, son of Kboni, Shogi Malik, slew Bori at Dakai Khwula
in Khaisor.— (Sa March, 1899.)... On the 26th March Khoni, one of the
chief Shogi Maliks, was assassinated at his village. He had just
returned to his home from doing good service along with other Tori
Khel Maliks at Datta Khel in connection with the Madda Khel
settlement. He is said to have been decoyed by Guli, ^hogi, to his
house and there treacherously shot with a pistol. This murder was in
retaliation for the recent death of Bori, a cousin of Guli, at the hands of
Khoni's son and another.-^ (5 i«^ March, 1899,)
882 APPENDIX TO WAZIRI VOCABULARY.
^' About five months ago Gul Muhammad, Abdullai Mahsud^ who was
liviDg with the Tori Khels in Sham, enticed away Slama, wife of
Khanijan, Maddi Khel Tori Khe), and concealed her at Makin in the
house of Abdullanir^ Akhnnd, After a month the Tori Khels traced
her and she was brought back to her husband. Kbanijan went to Madd
Akbar, Feroz Khan and Ghulam, Tori Khel Maliks. Oul Muhammad
was sent for, and it was arranged that he should pay Rs. ibO to Khani-
jan, Bs. 100 to Idam, Slama's brother, Hs. 80 to Ding, cousin of Khani'^
jan, and Bs. 10 to Nezam Din, Tori Khel Malik, and be given possession
of the woman. Gul Muhammad paid the money to Madd Akbar and
Khanijan divorced Slama, and Gul Muhammad would have started for
home with her> but it was late and he stopped for the niglit at 1 dam's
village. Pasal^ a cousin of Khanijan, protested against the settlement,
and said that the woman was an adulteress and should be put to death
i^cording to Waziri custom. On this Khanijan wished to give back the
money he had taken from Gul Muhammad and cancel the arrangement^ but
the latter would not accept it and went away leaving the woman among
the Tori Khels. The money was collected from the Tori Khels to whom
it had been given and Gul Muhammad was sent for again. He arrived
with a Mahsud jirga^ one of whom was Gulbadin^ Kikarai Mahsud. As
Oul Muhammad still refused to take back his money it was paid to Ghil-
badin, less something which is supposed to have been embezzled by Madd
Akbar. Six or seven days later Pasal shot Slama dead. Gul Muham-
mad is now trying to kill Pasal, and Pasal is looking for Gul Muhammad/'
Another quotation from the Diary may be given to show the position
of women in regard to tribal feuds, and how they are raided and counter-
raided very much in the same way as sheep or goats —
" About the 13th of November three girls were carried ofiE from Saroba
in Khaisor. One of them, a daughter of Takhar Khan, has come back ;
the other two, daughters of Shekha and Haji Khan, Dirdonis, are still
missing. The affair is one entirely of the unprotected area. I'he raiders
are supposed to have been headed by Shpezhmai and Trezhmai, Jalal
Khel, Mahsuds. — (8ht November, 1698.) About the 15th of December
1898 a gathering of about twenty-five Dirdoni Mohmit Khels, headed by
Pila, Landak and Momit Khan, went to the Jalal Khel country and laid
an ambush at the water-spring near the village of Malik Karim Khan.
In the morning when the village-women came to fetch water from the
spring the Dirdonis captured the wives of Ghaibadin and Mita Khan,
brother of Aki Khan, Jalal Khel, and retraced their steps with the women
towards their own country. On receiving the news the Jalal Khels
turned out a pursuit party and pursued them as far as Iti Ziarat in Khaisora
where a fight took place. The Jalal Khels returned unsuccessful, losin^^

MansaJam killed and Kashai wounded. The Dirdonis suffered no loss.?—
(3Ut December, 1659.) The raid by the Dirdoni Mohmit Khels on the
Jalal Khel Mahsuds was not unprovoked. The history of the case
appears to be that one or more of the rifles seized by the Naib Tahsildar of
Miram Shah in May... belonged to the Jalal Khel Mahsuds, and the
Jalal Khels laid the blame of the loss upon the Dirdonis and attempted to
recoup themselves by the raid on the Dirdonis, reported (in the diary
of the) 21st November 1898. A few days before this raid the Jalal Khels
had already given provocation to the Dirdonis by an attack on them
in which a Dirdoni, Miraboz, was wounded, fatally as it turned out. The
Dirdonis have now exchaoged the Jalal Khel women captured by them
for their own women and the death of Mansalam has been set off against
that of Miraboz.''
Waziri wives are said sometimes to accompany their husbands to the
battle-field, and women were alleged to have been seen taking an active
part in the attack on troops at Maizar in 1 897. Fortunately not all the
cases which bring Waziri women to notice are of such a sombre cast as
the examples given above might lead one to suppose. The Political Officer
in the Tochi had in 1898 to decide a case between a married couple in
which the husband alleged that his wife had deserted him, and the wife
that her husband had failed to respect a promise, made by him at the time
of their marriage, that she should be allowed to choose the joint place of
residence. The matter was referred to arbitrators, who settled that the
household should pass the six summer months in the hills at a place selected
by the wife and the other six at a place in the Tochi Valley approved
by the husband. John Stuart Mill could hardly have criticised this
decision as indicating an undue subjection of women.
We now approach the blood-feud, perhaps the most characteristic of
Waziri institutions, though possessed equally by other Pathans, and the
one which exhibits the Waziri in his real and darkest colours. The blood-
feud endures not only because it is an ancient and well- established article
in the code of frontier honour, nor only because social infamy and ostracism
would attend the man who should attempt to evade its requirements,
though these reasons are no doubt powerful factors in its continuance.
To pardon the murderer of a near relative would be in the eyes of the
Waziris of to-day ^w^hat failure to accept a challenge to a duel was in
the eyes of our own great-grandfathers. But there is a cause deeper
than these. The blood-feud flourishes among Pathan tribes, and par
exeellence among Waziris, on account of its thorough congeniality to the
temperament of the people. It is founded in their sensitive vanity, to
which the repayment of an insult in a striking and public manner is an
absolute necessity, and it is perpetuated by the Waziri principle that one
man must never allow another perm^iieijitly, to get the better of him.

Tfiat it has gone further and that revenge is regarded as a etccted Anty or

The conduct of the blood-feud gives full exercise to those faculties of
intrigue, strategem and dissimulation in which the Waziri excels^ and its
consequences excite no compunction in his cmel and callous breast. Its
only drawback in his estimation is that it brings his own life into danger ;
and the anxiety suffered by a man who has several blood-enemies, for-
ever spying upon his movements and waiting for an opportunity to
attack him vrithout risk to themselves^ is often excruciating and may
eontinue for years, being without remedy except bis own death or the
death of them all. The hunted look of the wretched badidor once seen
can never be forgotten. Even in perfect safety his eyes through force
of habit rove restlessly frcm object to object as if seeking a concealed
enemy^ and his mind wanders from the subject of conversation, probably
to the dangerous places he must pass in returning home, or to schemes
for throwing the pursuer off the track by a variation of route or an
unexpected time of departure. The writer remembers an interview with
one of these men, Zarkail, Khu&hali Tori Khel of the Tbchi, whicfh
took place under the walls of the village of Barro Khel. Though close
to the door of his house, surrounded by his friends and protected by the
presence of the Political Officer, this miserable being not only insisted
on keeping the breech of his rifle open ready to load and fire in case of a
sudden attack, but in order to be able to reload more qnickly beheld loose
cartridges clutched between the fingers of his left hand, and so continued
throughout the interview, on the conclusion of which he precipitately
retreated into his house. The mistake of supposing that every Waziri
feud is a blood-feud must be guarded agaiust. Properly speaking a
blood-feud can only arise out of a death,* and it follows that in a chain
of murders the first is usually brought about l>y an ordinary quarrd.
Every injury, however, is liable to beget a blood-feud ; t first, from the
tendency of the parties to make in turn more and more severe reprisals
on each other, and secondly, from the fact that deatk is oft^n the easiest
and sometimes the only possible form of retaliation — thus a husband

may find it impracticable to overpower his wife's pa ramdur in order td
cut off his foot, while to shoot him in the back on a lonely road may be
a eomparatively simple matter. The following may be taken as as
instance of a feud arising out of a very trivial matter : for all ti>e writer
knows it may/ since he left Tochi, have developed into a blood-fdud.
A Waziri having been bitten by another Waziri's dog sent the owner an
ultimatum demanding that the dog should be surrendered in order to be
put to death by having its throat cut. The other Waziri, probably regard-
ing the dog not only as his property but also as his " hamsaya/' that is to
say as a dependent whom he was bound in honour to protect, refused ;the
result was ** b<idi/' Any one who knows the country will perceive an
inimitably Waziri touch in this story, first in the serious way the matter
was handled 1)y both parties and again in the sort of attempt made by
the plantiff to create a quafci-tribal custom in regard to dogs, rendering
them re&pon^ble for their actions even with their lives. According to
theory «ny feud, even a blood-feud, may be settled otherwise than
by retaliation in kind : the injured person or his relations, if he has
been killed, may accept compensation in property or money according to a
fixed scale established by ancient usage, or he may altogether remit the
*' por,^' that is, the obligation to make good the injury. Tlie last
mentioned course is seldom, if ever, adopted ; but the former is commonly
in vogue and leads to some, according to European ideas, extraordinary
situations. Thus if an adulterer is not killed on the spot, bnt is murdered
subsequently in cold blood, his relations have a valid claim against the
injured husband for the excess in pecuniary value of a man's life over a
married woman's honour, a considerable sum. A settlement otherwise
than by successful retaliation is never to be relied on in cases where death
has been Cciused intentionally. When money compensation is accepted fot
a life it is generally with the design of lulling the mut derer's relatives
into a false security and of inducing them to abate their precautions in
order that one of them may be the more easily murdered in return. The
strange thing is that a Waziri, marked down for vengeance in a death
cafM^, should ever delude himself into the belief that he has made his life
safe by means of a money'pajnnent ; the frequency of instances in which
claimants take a man's money first and murder him afterwards show
trust in such circumstances to be the merest folly. A Waziri of good
principles is supposed always to spurn the offer of money compensation
for the murder of a relative, and a Madda Khel of the Kasha, the case of
whose father's murder had been taken up authoritatively and was about
to be settled on the basis of customary compensation, respectfully but in
a voice trembling with emotion^ assured the Political Officer that he would
rather consent to instant death than give his word of honour to abide
by such a settlement. 1'he most hopeless kind of blood-feud is one that
886 APPENDIX TO WAZIBI VOCABULARY.
originates in a murder, the perpetrator of which is not certainly known.
Thus, if B kills A and A's relatives thereafter succeed in killing B^ the
blood-feud is in theory at an end^ and in practice sometimes but not
always ceases. But if A is found dead and his relatives kill B on mere
suspicion of his being the murderer, B's relatives, if they do not admit the
suspicion to be correct, are then entitled to kill one of the relatives of A
on account of the murder of B^ which is in their view unjust. Again the
relatives of A^ adhering to their original opinion; can kill another of B's
party to make the account balance, and so the sanguinary game continues
from generation to generation. Such a case cannot be stopped at all
ei cept by the extinction of near male relatives on one side or the other or
by the intervention of Government or by a coalition of tribal authorities
which latter is rare in the case of a private feud. As murderers
take great pains to conceal their identity^ many of the blood-feuds in
Wuziristan are of this interminable nature. It is needless to comment
at length on the vitality of the Waziri vendetta^ for it is amply illustrated
in two or three of the following examples taken as usual from the Tochi
Political Diary. In one case it will be seen that the feud was revived
by a fresh murder after it had lain dormant for forty years. These
extracts from the Diary also bring into prominence the facts that neither
high position in the tribe, employment under Government, death of the
original disputants, nor even a formal settlement or reconciliation are any
safe-guard in Waziristan against the avenger of blood : —
^' It is reported that Pash and Chal, sons of Landun, Khushali Tori
Khel, and Nasar and Bohtan, his nephews, have severely wounded
SaduUa Khan, nephew of Kippat Khan, leading Mohmit Khel MaUk,
with swords at Bazmak (unprotected area). The reason is said to be
that eight or nine years ago at Bazmak, Sadulla attacked Landun
(since dead) with a sword, maiming him for life. Landun was at the
time in a Mohmit Khel village on a friendly mission from his tribe. —

^' On the 19th January a stranger arrived at the village of Chiton in
Hamzoni and introduced himself to Gulzar and Shahzar, sons of Said
Shah, Malikshahi Mahsud, residing in the village, as a relative who had
come to enquire after the welfare of the family. After evening prayers
at the mosque the stranger went with Shahzar to a water-channel near by
where he stabbed him in the chest and then disappeared. Shahzar only
lived long enough to describe what had happened. The stranger is
supposed to have been a Mahsud of the family with l^hom the deoeased^s

murdered on the Kuk Narai in Kazha. His brother WaU Dad accuses
certain Ismel Khels. Wali Dad killed an Ismel Khel some years agot

of the Political Officer, and had promised to pay the rest, the Ismel

the same tribe visited the Wruke Jani Khels of Senr (unprotected area)
in connectioh with a dispute about land in Shawal. ^Asal Din and
Mirdad, are deadly enemies. Ghazm Khan is a friend of Mirdad and the
fourth member of the party was a friend of Asal Din. In the evening,
as they were going to a mosque, Asal Din suddenly shot at Mirdad from
behind with a pistol but missed him. On this Ohazm Khan fell upon
Asal. Din^s companion and stabbed him in three places, himself receiving
a bullet wound in the left hand from his adversary's pistol. The Jani
Khels separated the combatants, and it is not thought that any of the
latter will die of their wounds. It is believed that the whole expedition
to Senr was planned by Asal Din with the object of obtaining an oppor-
tunity to kill his enemy. — {28th Fehruar^y 1899*)
'* It is reported that Umr Khan, Marsanzai Mahsud, has been murdered
in his native country on account of a blood-feud. He had been living
for some years at Idar Khel in Lower Daur and had married and
acquired land there, but was recently persuaded to go through a formal
reconciliation with his enemies and revisit the Marsanzai country. He
had gone this time to collect Rs. 200, the remaining price of land sold by
him : he had already collected Bs. 400 on a former visit to his home.-—

from behind while saying his prayers in one of the village mosques and
died on the spot. The other worshippers raised hue and cry at once, but
the murderer was not found. Awwalai is supposed to have been killed
by some relative of an Abdullai Mahsud, who was murdered about six
years ago and whose death was attributed to him. The supposition is
strengthened by the fact that a strange Mahsud^ who had been hanging
about the village for some days, has not been seen since the murder, and
that the murderer, whoever he was, left his pistol at the place he fired f rom>
which is the customary sign of successful revenge and the feud being
ended thereby.— {14th May^ 1898.)

*' Before Government occupied the Tochi the late Husen, Bobalai,
a famous Tori Khel raider of the Eetu^ killed one Mihrwan and looted a
mare and two breech-loading rifles belonging to him. Mihrwati was
nephew of Badde, a fakir of considerable repute in the Ketu and in part
of the Tochi. Badde bribed Nafadar, Shahmiri Tori Khel, to kill Muhabat,
Bon of Hueen, in retaliation, which he did. On or about the 3rd
of November, Nafadar, who had placed himself under the protection of
Payao, Hassan Khel Malik, was stabbed dead by Mir Akbar Khan^
Hassan Khel, at the instigation of Makhmad^ brother of Mubabbat and
son of Husen.— (7M November ^ 1S98.) .... Some events are reported
from the Ketu the meaning of which is not yet apparent. It is said that
about the 27th of December 1898 Yar Muhammad, Fatti Khel Hassan
Khel, was shot dead by Gulak, Saifali, at the instigation of Payaa,
Hassan Khel Malik, whose hamBoya Gulak was. This is the Payao who
is accused of having caused the death of his fellow Malik, Zarmalik, by
poison. It is added that about the 8th January 1889 Gnlak abducted
the sister of the late Zarmalik and brought her to the village of Niazai,
relative of the late Husen, Bobalai Tori Khel, further down the Ketu. —

have been instigated by Payao, Hassan Khel Malik, in retaliation for the
murder of Nafadar, Yar Muhammad being a relative of the assassin of

in marriage to Gulak as a reward for his share in the transaction. —

^* On the afternoon of the 7th December Muzammil Khan, nephew of
Sadda Khan, Madda Khel, and Levy Jamadar of the Maizar post, was
shot dead at Sheranni by Saidwali, whose surrender was demanded by
Government in connection with the Maizar outrage. The motive is
believed to have been revenge for the seduction by Muzammil Khan of
SaidwaU's wife some time before the Maizar outrage. — [7th. December,
1898.) . . After the murder of Muzammil Khan Saidwali took refuge in
the adjoining Khiddar Khel village of Ziarat. As it was expected that
he would remain there the night, the Militaiy authorities at the request of
the Political OflScer sent troops to Ziarat before daylight the next
morning to arrest him, but before their arrival the Khiddar Khels had
made over Saidwali to the relations of Muzammil, and the latter had
killed him.—- (iSM December, 1898.) On the 27th of January Nasarka,
Khizar Khel of Sheranni was shot dead in the hills to the north of
the Tochi. His family had an old feud with Sadda Khan's relations.
Mamat and Zarim, nephews of Sadda Khan, are said to have damaged
Nasarka's crops last year and Dande, brother of Sadda Khan, to have
paid compensation to Nasarka. When Muzammil Khan, brother of
Mamat, was shot by Saidwali, Dande Khan accused Nasarka of having
Conspired with Saidwali to do it; and Nasarka is now believed to have

Khan.^— (Sa lelmary, 1899.) "
It should not be hastily concluded from the above examples that the
Waziris are wantonly barbarous^ and it is with some hesitation that the
writer has gone so far in an earlier paragraph as to call them cruel.
Torture is unheard of among them, and men to be killed are promptly
and efficiently despatched. Mutilation of the dead is probably never
committed except by individuals under the inflaence of fanaticism or of
some violent passion. t But while the Waziri does not revel in. causing
pain^ he shows the utmost indifference and want of consideration in
inflicting it. He holds all human life chenp and will kill a child or a
woman with as little compunction as he would a man, and a near rebitive
almost us readily as he would a stranger. The following are instances
of Waziri inhumanity taken from the Tochi Political Diary :—
" On the 8th of June Sarwar Khan, Nazr Khel, shot and killed his
his uncle Abdulla at Zeri, above Wucha Bibi, but in British territory. —
(14tA June, 1898,) .... A quadruple murder is reported to
have occurred at Sanzalai in Kazha on the night of the 19th — £Oth
January 1899. The victims were Sarwar Khan end Gulai Khan, Nazr
Khels, brothers, their mother Khari, and Nadona, the wife of Sarwar
Khan, Sarwar Khan is said to have been killed in revenge for the
murder of Abdulla . . • . , Gulai as a set-off against a Tani of
Bibi named Midagai, who was killed by Sarwar Khan and Abdulla
before they quarrelled, Khari because she was the sister of Nazrdin who
murdered a niece of Gulreb, Nazr Khel Malik, and !Nadona because
Abdulla once abducted the wife of the brother of Khadim, Malik of
Pashai. Even if the above accoxmt is true, it is probable that the
* pors ^ were not arranged as above until after the family had been des-
troyed by the particular enemies of Sarwar Khan. — {8^A February^

with swords, but there is as yet no clue to the murderers. — (5i5^ January,
• Sadda Khan, the uncle of Muzammil Khan, was until June 1897 the head of the
Madda Khels and perhaps the most important Waziri Malik in Tochi, but this did not
exempt his family from the dangers of a common-place feud. As a matter of fact
Saidwali's wife was not seduced by Muzammil Khan and Saidwali consistently refused to
put her to death. The matter was one of criminal assault only, and according to Wa/iii
custom Muzammil Khan's nose should have been cut off. Saidwali being unable to enforce
the proper penalty, was obliged to go further and shoot Muzammil instead.

In concluding this sketch of the life and character of the Waziris it
only remains to touch on their favourite and most honoured occupation,
one that is dying hard and will not soon go out of fashion among them^
to wit the art of robbery whether by skill or violence. The expertness
of the Waziris in possessing themselves of each other's moveables and of
the moveable property of strangers is a never-ending marvel to those who
have to do with them. As thieves, especially by night, they are probably
unsurpassed ; and as raiders working over a wide and difficult country
they display incredible generalship and foresight. They usually fell upon
their victims unexpectedly in a prepared place where no interruption is to
be anticipated and to which neither notice nor help can be quickly
attracted, and again in their retreat they often manage to secure such a
start of their pursuers as not to be overtaken, unless encumbered with
cattle, even by a pursuit party of their fellow-countrymen. When
retarded by stolen animals they will divide into several parties, each
driving a share of the booty in a difEerent direction : the pursuers are, as
a rule, unable to follow up more than one or two of these parties
simultaneously and the others thus escape unpursued. The retreat of
each party is protected by some of the best men in the gang, who hold
every point of vantage against the chigha while the cattle or sheep and
goats are being hurried away behind them ; in favourable ground, or if
the chigha is badly armed, it is not infrequently repulsed altogether. It
is difficult to know whether to admire the thief or the raider most.
Gulbaz, Khushali Tori Khel, since hanged for a similar but leps success-
ful attempt at Saidgi in which he mortally wounded a sepoy, was a fine
example of the first. One dark rainy night he entered the Miram Shah
post by climbing over the wall between two sentries ; he spent a con-
siderable time inside the enclosure and deliberately investigated its contents
though from time to time accosted by inmates ; finally he decamped
towards morning with a rifle selected from the tent next the guard-
tent. As raiders, a party of Mahsuds who visited the Afghan province
of Khost deserve an honourable mention; after seizing their plunder
in a hostile country some 40 miles from their own border they brought
it safely home across the whole breadth of Tochi, without opposition
or detection, passing at night with a herd of 200 raided cattle almost

under the walls of the principal Government post in the valley.* The
success of the Waziris as robbers is due largely to their excellent arrange-
ments for obtaining information, both of opportunities for doing a stroke
of business and of the best and safest means of utilising them. This fact
should not detract from their exploits, not at least in the eyes of English-
men, whose failures all the world over may often be traced to their
inability to obtain prompt and correct news of what goes on at even a
short distance from them. It is a curious thing that men between whom
there is no mutual confidence, but sometimes on the contrary reatfbn for
deep distrust, will engage together in a raid and temporarily place their
lives in each other's hands : witness the following extract from the
Tochi Political Diary which, though it refers to Kabul Khels^ is typical of
all Waziris : —
" It is reported that a short time ago, Sarwari, Malik of Biland Khel,
was found dead in the hills. It is stated that two days before this he
was decoyed away from his village by Gulmal, Niazai and Masaid^
Miamais, cousins of Bahmat Shah, who invited him to join them in
raiding the Thalwals. These men are supposed to have obtained pos-
session of Sarwari's rifle while out with him and to have shot him with it,
but they do not admit the murder. — (10th January^ 1899,)'^
The absence, at times at least, of honour from among Waziri thieves
is illustrated in another passage from the Diary of the same date : —
" The death of Gulabagh, Gangi Khel Malik, is reported from the
Dana (unprotected area). It is stated that with the connivance of
a Kharoti and the help of Abdur Rahman Khel Mahsuds, Gulabagh
some time ago raided flocks belonging to Kharotis. When the Kharoti
accomplice came to demand his share of the loot, Gulabagh told him that
he must bring the owners of the flocks with him to pay the ransom
money and he would then receive his share. This made the Kharoti
suspect that Qnlabagh intended in the end to cheat him, and under the
pretext of bringing the owners he brought two Kharotis with him on
his next visit to Gulabagh. The three Kharotis set upon Gulabagh and
stabbed him to death with knives at his tower, which is situated in
a lonely place.''
As the materials collected for this sketch do not happen to include a
description of a successful raid, the reader must be satisfied with the account,
from the raiders' point of view, of one which ended in a fiasco : —
" In revenge for the raid committed on Mohmit BLhel flocks near
Idak on the night of the 5th August 1898 a counter-raid

ments into the shade by the surprise of the Kashmir Ear Militia Post in August and the

on the Jalal Kbol Malisuds was attempted by Oulamad Kban^ son of
Kippat Khan, with 18 fellow-tribesmen. Starting from Bazmak they
spent the first night near Musakki in Khaisor and the next in the hills
adjoining the Jalal Khel country. The following day the Mohmit Khels
succeeded in seizing a number of Jalal Khel cattle and drove them off.
The Jalal Khels pursued, and there was heavy firing on both sides. One
Jalal Khel was seen to fall as if shot. Abdullais and other Mahsuds^
near whose encampments the Mohmit Khels bad to pass on their way
home, turned out and joined the Jalal Khels. The road was diflScult
and there was bright moonlight, which was unfavourable to the raiders.
Finally, the ammunition of the Mohmit Khels running short they had to
abandon the cattle, and returned to Razmak with only one bullock which
had been taken and sent off before the other cattle.'^
No account of the inhabitants of Waziristan would be complete with-
out at least a passing reference to the Dauris, who possess and cultivate
the greater part of the bed of the Tochi Valley. They are a homogene-
ous tribe of considerable size, and though surrounded on all four sides by
a Waziri population they bear little resemblance to \Taziris. Their pur-
suits are even more exclusively agricultural than those of the Waziris are
pastoral; they do not change their place of abode ; and their lives are easy,
not to say luxurious, in comparison with those of their hill-neighbours.
Their position is a peculiar one, for they thrive on a rich sedimentary
soil, copiously irrigated, in the midst of a country where cultivable
land of any kind is scarce and water in general hardly to be obtained.
But they pay a heavy tax in health and well-being for the possession of
their fertile acres. Fevers and other malarial diseases are bred in the
wet sodden lands of Daur lying, as for the most part they do, at the
bottom of a deep depression, exposed to the direct rays of a burning sun ;
and the effects of these ailments may be clearly traced in the drawn or
bloated features and the shrunken or swollen limbs of nearly every
Dauri who has passed middle life. It is probably to the struggle against
climate that the prevalence of intemperate habits among Dauris is duej
but, whatever the reason, the percentage of Dauris who habitually take
charas, bhang and similar intoxicating drugs to excess is phenomenal.
Climate and intemperance together must have largely contributed to
make the Dauii what he is ; to the one may be attributed his indolence
and apathy, to the other his want of mental balance, his paroxysms of
frenzied excitement and bis unnatural vices. Of the last nothing can be
said here except that their universality and their recognition by tribal
custom suggest the idea that they date from pre-Muhammadan ages and
that they may be, so to speak, more than a purely fortuitous relaxation of
ordinary human morality. Their monstrous power can be sufficiently
indicated by the remark that a certain legendary Dauri is reputed
APPENDIX TO WAZIBI VOCABULARY. S4S
almost a hero because, in order to gain the favour of an admired Gany-
mede, he cut the throat of his own mother instead of sacrificing the usual
sheep prescribed by custom. The proneness of the Dauri, in spite of his
usual passivity, to outbursts of wild and sometimes unprovoked fury is
closely connected, beyond a doubt, with his generally morbid and
depraved tone of mind and body. In 1899 a levy sowar struck a village
Hindu at the Id festival at Hakim Khel in Lower Daur, and was there-
upon hotly pursued by the whole assembly who in the heat of the
moment regarded the blow as an insult to themselves. He escaped
with his life though chased by one mounted Dauri armed with a lance
for several miles, up to the very gates of the Idak post. It is note-
worthy that by the time Idak was reached the Dauri pursuer's excite-
ment had so far evaporated that he allowed himself to be arrested with-
out resistance and seemed at a loss to explain his own conduct. The
Dauri is not without a tincture of religion ; he enjoys listening to the
disputations of Mullahs and himself frequently becomes a student of
theology. From this it follows that his homicidal mania not uncom-
monly runs in a fanatical channel, and it is a significant fact that, of the
rather numerous fanatical outrages which have occurred in Tochi since its
occupation in 1895, hardly any have been committed by Waziris and
nearly all by Dauris. The Dauri, certainly no less dirty in person and
habits, is probably more unscrupulous and more indiscriminate in his
revenge than the Waziri ; and the writer remembers a case in which a
Dauri of Banda, wishing to poison a private enemy, unfeelingly caused
arsenic to be placed in a drinking vessel at a place of public resort with
the result that one man died and eight became dangerously ill, most if
not all of whom had no connection with the quarrel. Having said thus
much of the Dauri^s worst qualities, it behoves us to give him credit for
the virtues which he does possess. He is of a milder and less truculent
disposition than the Waziri, more docile and amenable to civilisation ;
and the steady attendance at a primary school opened some two years
ago in Lower Daur shows that he is not insensible to the benefits of
education. The best type of Dauri is quiet, intelligent and law-abiding,
and there is room for hope that this type will gain ground now
that Daur has been opened up by the British occupation. There
are some interesting men among the Dauris; and, though as a tribe
they are by no means reputed courageous, examples of undoubted
courage are to be met with among them, but chiefly in Upper Daur
where there is a strong infusion of Waziri blood. The professional
bullies or *' spois ^^ who used in pre-British times to be kept by Dauri
leading men and even villages for the purpose of fighting their quarrels
were oftenest perhaps broken Waziris who had drifted down from the
hills in search of a livelihood, but among them were also many genuine
*it
844 APPENDIX TO WAZIRI VOCABULARY.
Dauris. Though indolent in other matters the Dauri-is an indefatigable
cultivator ; the whole of his land, with a few exceptions in Lower Daur,
is dug by spade to a great depth instead of being ploughed and is care-
fully manured, but a Peshawar zamindar will condemn Dauri cultivation
as slovenly in the matter of weeding and in some other respects. Perhaps
as a consequence of his heavy field labour the Dauri enjoys a great reputa-
tion as a treucherman, and it is related of a certain Malik of Tappi (who
shall be nameless), that he once on a mere invitation to partake,
devoured without assistance the meal which had been prepared for three

The Waziri despises the Dauri and ajBPects to believe that all Dauris
are sprung from one of the menial castes; but the fact remains that
though villages may have occasionally been destroyed or temporarily
wrested away, no Waziri combination, however far-reaching and numer-
ous, ever succeeded in retaining possession of a part of Daur for any
length of time. The greatest struggle between Waziri s and Dauris was
waged on the extreme western boundary of Upper Daur where it was
the object of the Waziris during more than one generation to seize
Ghazlamai and Pai Khel and so obtain command of the whole water-
supply of the Mlakh Dauri villages. About the middle of the nineteenth
century a vast Waziri coalition was formed with this object, embracing
even the Ahmadzais of Bannu, and it achieved a temporary success.
Ghazlamai, a village of Pirs, and Pai Khel, a Dauri village proper, were
occupied by the Waziris, who held the latter for rather more than a year,
by means of a contingent to which each Waziri section contributed a
fixed quota of men. The Dauris finally consented to negotiate and
appointed a place in Lower Daur for the meeting of their elders with the
Waziri jirga. When, however, the latter arrived at the conference they
were made prisoners and informed that their lives would be forfeited
unless Pai Khel were evacuated instantly. Compliance with the Dauri
demand was inevitable and the unparalleled exertions of the Waziris
during the previous two years were thus rendered fruitless. The explana-
tion of the non-success of the Waziris in their assaults upon the less
warlike and much smaller Dauri tribe is to be sought in the patience,
tenacity and comparative unity of the latter, and also in their central and
compact position. Tribal warfare is a waiting game, and while the besieg-
ing Waziris were drawn often from great distances and maintained
co-operation with the greatest difl5culty owing to jealousies among them-
selves, the interruption of their ordinary pursuits and their impatience of
the summer heat in Daur, tbe Dauris lived quietly in their own villages
cultivating their crops so far as they couid,- repelling assaults in force
from the cover of their walls and towers, ever ready to lend support to
neighbouring villages when threatened and equally on the alert to take

advantage of a momentary want of vigilance on the part of the enemy.
It is hardly wonderful that in these circumstances the fickle and dis«
united Waziri tribes should have failed 'to effect a permanent lodgement
in Daur. With the advent of the British power the ancient struggle
ended and the waving green corn-fields and leafy mulberry groves of the
best parts of Tochi will not now cease to own the Dauri for their lord
unless the Waziri can succeed in ousting him by purchase and mortgage
as in some villages^ strange to say^ he appears able and disposed to do.
If the reader closes these pages having gained a distinct impression
of the race,, free-born and murderous, hot-headed and light-hearted, self-
respecting but vain, which peoples the hills of W^aziristan, and of the
gross Satyr-like spadesmen whose abode is in the main valley, then the
present slight sketch has been penned to some purpose. Furthermore,
if the reader quits the subject with relief, his feelings will only resem-
ble those with which the writer relinquished political charge of the
Tochi after a two years' residence there, and the cause will probably be
the same,— involuntary abhorrence of human types which deviate in
such an extreme degree from what Europeans are accustomed to consider
the humau standard.
