Commentary
Philological commentary
| n1 | Here we can likely restore mrā(caṃ), see Carling and Pinault 2023, s.v. ksärki, as well as A 48 b2, A 380 b2. |
|---|---|
| n2 | As suggested in Sieg and Siegling 1921: 242 and in Carling and Pinault 2023: 456 s.v. wsā-yok, we can restore (wsā) yokāṃ. In a similar context, cf. also A 315 and 316 a2-a3 wsā-yokāṃ poke rsoräṣ sopisyo yetu(nt) (prāru)yoand A 273 a1-a2 sopisyo yetuñcäs parnoñcä(s) (tsarnā). |
| n3 | A tentative restoration is suggested by Carling and Pinault 2023: 243, proposing naṣ. |
| n4 | Eventually (pä)l(k)orä(ṣ)as in b2? |
| n5 | Maybe ā(ṣānik)as in a4? |
| n6 | As suggested by Carling and Pinault 2023: 62 s.v. īme, with reference to Itkin and Malyshev 2021: 65, who propose the reading [ī]me päl[tsä](k). |
