Commentary
Philological commentary
| n1 | śimprāyai almost certainly has something to do with śimpraye in THT 1574 a6 |
|---|---|
| n2 | For a tentative explanation of these two terms, see Ching and Ogihara 2012: 90-91 and Ching 2017: 371. |
| n3 | For the name, cf THT 289 a2 tᵤṅā. Ching and Ogihara 2012: 92 connect it to Niya Prakrit toṃga, Runic Turkic Toŋa and Uyghur Toŋa. In Gāndhārī, toṃga- is used as a title. |
| n4 | For wrätsaise, cf. THT 2712 a7, Kucha 0190 a2. |
| n5 | One would expect ṣmañana. |
| n6 | For hkhai as a loan from Chinese 鞋, see Ching and Ogihara 2012: 94 and Ching 2017: 183. |
