Commentary

Philological commentary

n1There is an odd metathesis of 'm' and 'n' in this form - we would expect saṅkrāmne (from skr. saṃghārāma-.
n2sic! for some reason, the fremdzeichen 'L' is used instead of the regular sign.
n3It could either be yap, ysāre, āka, āka lyekśiye or śātre, given the other attestations of śwasiṣṣe.
