Commentary
Philological commentary
| n1 | sic! instead of śak ṣkas. |
|---|---|
| n2 | For wäsokäś, Ogihara 2014 suggests that Tocharian A wsokäṃ in THT 1519, plural of a putative *wsok, is related. It might plausibly be a kind of grain product. Ching 2017: 169 argues that *wäsok could denote a a usage of grain, a kind of dish or activity, rejecting the explanation of this word as some sort of alcoholic beverage (like in Adams 2013a: 650-651 and Schmidt 2002: 7-8). |
| n3 | This line is written much smaller than the others and offset to the right. It was probably added in later. |
