| n1 | srāce : unclear hapax. Maybe derived through the suffix -ce (see Huard 2022: 421) from an ablauting variant of the root sār- ‘to plant, sow’. Accordingly, it might mean ‘seed, plant’. |
| n2 | tsärkaññe* , probably for tsärkalñe via a late assimilation (cf. Peyrot 2008: 64). |
| n3 | krāṅwe : The first part might be a borrowing from Skt. kuraṅga- ‘antelope’. |
| n4 | nicci : imperfect of a nittā- ‘collapse’, prs. nittaṃ . For a suffixless imperfect alongside prs. XII, see mīwi ~ miwaṃ (Peyrot 2013b: 786). The same formula is attested in PK AS 7M a6nittaṃ kektseñe ‘his body collapses’. |
| n5 | mentsauna* is the first attestation of the plural of mentsi ‘sorrow’. This form stands out in comparison to the plurals of other nominalized infinitives, such as śwātsi , which have an -anma plural. This form follows the pattern of reki , rekauna . |
| n6 | ke : particle, see Adams 2013a: 201. It is here proposed to translate it as ‘once’ since it seems to be used at the beginning of narratives. |
