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 margin and seemingly the upper margin (recto) are preserved.

Philological commentary

n1 rackiñ: although the reading is not certain, this seems to be the only possible one. The word ratäk 'army' is usually supposed to inflect as nātäk 'lord', but the fact that the obl.pl. rackis shows unexpected c and i (Sieg et al. 1931: 112) suggests another inflexion for the plural, which would fit rackiñ in fact well.
n2 (kä)lnäṣṣ: Restoration due to Ilya Itkin (p.c. 5 July 2014).
n3 : cf. A 312 b4 epreriss āntaṃ.
n4 triwanträ: cited by Sieg et al. 1931: 389 and Malzahn 2010b: 671.
n5 : cf. A 378 a4 ywār tr(i)weñci.
