Commentary

Philological commentary

n1rka; ke?
n2yamäṣṣäṃ must describe the effect of the medicine, and the preceding word is most probably an adjective. The only attested combination possible is sticce Sa2.
n3nakänmā, tekanma?
n4pätso seems to be the nom.sg. of obl.sg. patsa, unattested so far.
n5triwäṣle is impossible.
