A List of Compound Verbs in Common Use
340. It happens very often that one Kurdish dialect em¬
ploys a simple verb where another dialect employs a com¬
pound verb, and vice versa. It is therefore impossible to give
a complete list of compound verbs. In fact, there is no limit
to compound verbs in Kurdish. The following list contains
a number of combinations that are in common use. For the
imperative forms, see 335.
