Announcements

  • The Zotero library underlying the CEToM bibliography is now public and can be viewed here.
  • We would like to thank Prof. Dr. Thomas Oberlies and Pratik Rumde from the Seminar für Indologie und Tibetologie of the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen for providing our project with scans of the nachlass of Wilhelm Siegling. The nachlass includes letters to and from Siegling throughout his career that are of great importance to the history of the field of Tocharian studies. This material will be published on CEToM, accompanied by transcriptions of the letters, in the course of 2024.

Commentary

Philological commentary

n1 Maybe a diminutive form of tallāw?
n2 This sentence is a bit peculiar. This is the first and only attestation of tallāwśke. Strangely, there also is a tallāñciśke in THT 273 a5. I assume that the sentence means something like 'I happily take up this burden for you'. For 'I wish you good fortune', cf. PK NS 101 a3.
