Commentary

Remarks

*The right margin is preserved.

Philological commentary

n1(s)s oko: certainly oko is preceded by a genitive, e.g. pñintwiss 'of the merits'. The genitive ending is often geminated before oko.
n2ceṣ ñäkciyā: ceṣ is nom.pl.m., while ñäkciyā is a pl.f., so probably obl.pl.f. ñäkciyā(s).
n3(ākṣi)ññu: alternatively, (okṣi)ññu or (kākñä)ññu are possible.
