Commentary
Philological commentary
| n1 | Ching 2012b: 312 argues that this word is derived from the prefix yn- 'in' and sāle 'earth, place', thus she glosses it as 'within the country, within the borders'. She reads it as esalyī. However, there is an anusvāra visible above the 'e'. |
|---|---|
| n2 | Ogihara apud Ching 2012b: 313 connects this word to ṣpakīye 'pill', itself a loan word from Khotanese ṣvakye. However, the assumption of a sound change ṣp -> ṣup seems to be rather ad hoc. |
| n3 | It looks like the scribe first wrote pauśye, but then corrected himself. |
