Commentary
Remarks
| This fragment and PK AS 16.6.1 do indeed seem to belong to the same manuscript. Recto and verso are unclear; left side of a leaf with parts of the left margin and the string hole. |
Philological commentary
| n1 | y is probably the beginning of a form from yām- 'to do'. |
|---|---|
| n2 | ○ [w](· – ·)ñ(·) /// or ○ [l](· – ·)ñ(·) ///. |
