Abstract
- In this article I focus on thirty toponyms from the Swāt Valley, Pakistan, that incorporate the concepts of 'big' and 'small'. In this context, 'big' is represented by three different adjectives, loy , luth , and mahā , while for 'small' we find two different suffixes, - ṛay and - g/k/xay , as well as the adjectives woṛ and waṛukay. Among other things, I also propose a new analysis of one of the toponyms already studied in my 2020 work on the Toponymy of the Swāt Valley , Altangurai. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
