This paper deals with the question of vowel-length in Middle Persian verbal endings, e.g. the pres. 3rd sing. written in Manichaean script with -yd, which may indicate a long or a short e. A survey is given of the Middle Iranian languages and the way(s) they deal with the main present formations of Old Iranian. The author concludes that the vowel was likely to have been long and explains the short-vowelled endings in Modern Persian as the result of shortening in the accent group formed by the past participle together with the auxiliary verb.
