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

Only the plural is attested, most likely a noun of the type , yoko, so nom.sg. warśo is theoretically possible as well.

;

The basic meaning is 'undergrowth, thicket' and has in m-sip1 b 4 the sense of 'non-penetrable path, dead-end road' (= Skt. kāpatha-). Accordingly, Krause's interpretation "Büsche" in Krause 1952: 179 is basically correct, "(Hoch)fläche" and "orchard" as quoted or proposed in Adams 2013a: 630 is not likely. The gloss "(Hoch)fläche" in Thomas and Krause 1964: 238 seems to be based on the Sanskrit parallel of THT 338 a 1 Skt. vanaprastha-.
