Philological commentary
| n1 | tāṣäl: the akṣara s̝ais relatively secure; the lis only compatible with the traces, other restorations would also be possible. |
|---|---|
| n2 | sa: a faint cross is visible on top, but if an akṣara was added below the line, it is now completely lost. |
| n3 | /// [m] p·lkassi: the likely restorations seem to be (ca)m p(ä)lkässi 'to torment him' or (tā)m p(ä)lkässi 'to torment her'. However, we have to assume that the spelling was mpäwith the vowel sign ä instead of expected mpawith Fremdzeichen (the alternative mpais rare anyhow). |
