This paper deals with the attestations of the suffix -kade in Khaqani’s works (including poetry and prose). Firstly, it briefly discusses the attestations of the suffix -kade in the 10th and 11th CE Persian texts, and then, provides a list of the words containing -kade in Khaqani’s works. It is shown that totally 18 words with this suffix have occurred in Khaqani’s works, two of which have a considerable occurrence in the earlier texts from 10th and 11th CE. 8 out of the 16 reaming words have also attestations in earlier or contemporary works to Khaqani, but the remaining 8 words may have been invented by himself, namely: the words: khom-kade, daru-kade, rezvan-kade, salāmat-kade, esmat-kade, isā-kade, mehnat-kade, ne’mat-kade. It is notable that 6 out of the 10 words common among Khaqani and others have occurred in Sana’i’s poetry, 3 of which is unique to Sanai and Khaqani. This may be considered as another evidence of the stylistic influence of Sanai on Khaqani.
