Commentary
Remarks
| Transcription and translation are based on Carling et al. 2009. | |
| Transcription and references have been transferred from the "Text and Reference Database of the Tocharian A Language" (Gerd Carling Lund University) (funded by the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation and SCAS). | |
| Left part of a leaf without traces of the string hole space. |
Philological commentary
| n1 | Note the spelling pñ(i)ntväṣ for pñ(i)ntwäṣ. |
|---|---|
| n2 | Pace Sieg/Siegling one has to read ñareytwäṣ, not ñareynwäṣ because the former is more consistent with the usual simplification of this plural suffix. |
