Commentary

Remarks

The fragment is upside down in the frame.

Philological commentary

n1(ck)ācar: the consonantal part of the first is almost completely lost. Nevertheless, the traces that remain are compatible with [c] and seem to exclude m ((m)ācar) and p ((p)ācar).
n2näku: this is the most likely reading palaeographically, but phonologically it is impossible: after , a cluster would be needed to account for the vowel ä that is not syncopated.
