Commentary
Remarks
| Appurtenance to manuscript M-γ according to a label on the frame. In one frame with THT 1322.b-THT 1322.f. The upper margin (recto) is preserved. Very faint traces of lining are preserved (most clearly on the verso). |
Philological commentary
| n1 | pälkā(tär): other restorations are possible, too; for instance pälkā(t) 'saw'. |
