      The d/z fluctuation in isolated words has already been reported by Meier. What can be inferred from the early written documentation matches fairly well with the modern dialectological data: the word xedmat ‘service’ (← Ar. k̠h̠idmat) has the variants xezmad/xedmad in the Xorāsāni dialect of Birǰand; it is xezma:t in Zāboli (Sistān), xezmat in Mašhadi (Xorāsān), as well as in Davāni, Zarqāni (Fārs), and Daštestāni.
