*	There are two forms with o-mobile, no doubt in colon/pāda-final position.
n1	The form halahāl is a loan from Skt. halāhala- ‘(a kind of) deadly poison’.
n2	Since no root wälk- is attested so far in TB, what we have here is rather a variant of empalkaitte ‘unconcerned, not worried’ written with ‹wa› for ‹pa›, which has some parallels.
n3	The hapax ysaltse ought to be understood as an abstract parallel to the other terms of the same line which, judging from śconay, are all in the oblique. It would be a substantivized adjective based on the stem underlying the noun ysalye ‘discord, enmity’.
n6	kälyamñe is an abstract based on an unattested agent noun in -mo from the root käly- "to stay, remain".

*	Recto and verso cannot be ascertained.

n4	At the end amāṃ ‘pride’ may be restored.
n5	The only sensible separation is to take wikṣalyisa as a single word form. In that case we have an uncommon form of the abstract, which is based on the gerund wikṣalle or on the abstract wikṣalñe. For the formation see the discussion on parskalyisa in PK AS 16.2 b 3.
