Announcements

The Zotero library underlying the CEToM bibliography is now public and can be viewed here.

We would like to thank Prof. Dr. Thomas Oberlies and Pratik Rumde from the Seminar für Indologie und Tibetologie of the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen for providing our project with scans of the nachlass of Wilhelm Siegling. The nachlass includes letters to and from Siegling throughout his career that are of great importance to the history of the field of Tocharian studies. This material will be published on CEToM, accompanied by transcriptions of the letters, in the course of 2024.

Commentary

Formally, the TA stem is a kausativum. In TB, both a respective grundverb with A-character and a kausativum without A-character are attested, the meaning of both stems being roughly the same.
