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

Remarks

In one frame with A 443, A 445, A 445.a and A 445.c-A 445.g. Apparently, the upper part of the string hole space is preserved on the recto (lower part on the verso).

Philological commentary

n1 (klyo)mune: -mune is a frequent suffix, but because of vowel weakening it occurs only after consonants. Therefore, this seems to be the only possible restoration.
