Commentary
Philological commentary
| n1 | At first sight, this looks like na-, but upon closer inspection, there is a hook on the bottom that is characteristic of open ka and not shared by the other na of this document. This word may be kaṣṣu 'costus speciosus'. |
|---|---|
| n2 | Most likely a form of sanāp- 'rub, anoint'. Maybe a participle sasanāpau (cf. kākālākā-), but the accent would be strange. |
