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

Philological commentary

	The clearly readable words are unknown; it is unclear whether we are dealing with Tocharian words at all; according to Pinault 1987a: 181, maybe "une formule magique" because of the consonance of the ending.

Remarks

	Graffito on potsherd; for the photo, see Pinault 1987a: pl. XCIII-1.
