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

Remarks

The left and lower (recto) margins are preserved. If the fragment belongs to the same manuscript as THT 1132, the leaf number may be ‹4··›, i.e. a number in the four hundreds. The original number of lines would then be 6; b1-3 would have to be renumbered as b4-6.

Philological commentary

n1 : equally possible, of course, is a conditional construction. Instead of (mā)car, one could as well restore (pā)car, (pra)car, etc.
n2 : cf. A 151 a1 okāk prākär nasluneya(ṃ) yäṣ.
n3 se: there are not many words ending in se with a vowel directly preceding (cf. Poucha 1955: 428). The most likely reading seems se 'son'.
n4 klots: it is remarkable that the word for 'ear' seems to be in the singular.
n5 [l·n]e: possibly a verbal noun in -lune.
