| description | In the ninth century, the post-suffixial letter -d (da-drag) of ancient Tibetan was abolished by the "Standardization of Writing". This means that the final stop -d of final consonant-clusters, which must have been pronounced in Tibetan some time before the ninth Century, was already missing from the pronunciation of the ninth century. We do not find the post suffix letter -d in written documents or "dictionaries" after the ninth century. |
