Commentary
Philological commentary
| n1 | For the restoration knānmu(ne) , see a similar passage in YQ I.1 a7(1.8) yomäs kus ne knānmune . |
|---|
| n2 | The form (pā)pluräṣ was already proposed by Sieg and Siegling 1921: 232, see also Carling and Pinault 2023: 281 s.v. pälā- . |
|---|
| n3 | The form entsṣiṣ is a hapax of undetermined meaning. It can be analysed as a Subj. IX Opt., 3.sg., probably from a causative stem of eMts- ´seize, grasp, take for oneself´, see TEB I: 46 and Malzahn 2010: 538-539; a different interpretation is provided by Peyrot 2013: 725. |
