Commentary
Linguistic commentary
| n1 | This word is so far unattested; perhaps the reading should be ṣiy[aiñe]. |
|---|
Philological commentary
| n2 | glosses Skt. khe(ṭaḥ) 'phlegm, slime'. |
|---|
| n3 | glosses Skt. gū(tha) 'excrement'. Although a tiny trace of the long ū of gū(tha) is readable (Wille 2012: 374 reads g[u] ///), the reading of the Sanskrit text is here clearly made possible by the Tocharian gloss. |
