Farsi words in a vocalized MS of Surābādi's Commentary

Persian speaking people throughout the Islamic era made use of the Arabic script in writing their works. Certain shortcomings in this script, however, caused a number of recorded words and features of the language - especially in the area of vowels and some of the consonants specific to the Persian language - to remain unrepresented in the script, thus, part of the linguistic investigations into the Persian language undergoing certain defectives. On the one hand, our knowledge about the recording of many words is limited to some of the dictionaries mostly of recent time, partly compiled by people who are not indigenous speakers of the language; on the other hand, fortunately, during different periods, there have been written manuscripts in which the punctuation of letters has been carefully executed; such manuscripts can be used in completing linguistic studies.
In the present article, one of such diacritically marked (vocalized) manuscripts, which is an old handwritten copy of Surābādi’s Commentary, has been addressed and the recordings of rare words and some of the recordings different from those in the dictionaries, have been studied.
