Commentary
Philological commentary
| n1 | cmoll e: certainly a form of ents- 'take'. |
|---|---|
| n2 | wenatra: the ‹na› and the ‹ tra› are connected, but not as a virāma (pace Tamai 2007a: №1142). This is the form cited in Sieg et al. 1931: 472 (Malzahn 2010: 907). |
| n3 | : the word division is uncertain. |
