Commentary
Philological commentary
| n1 | Restored after THT 466 a1. |
|---|---|
| n2 | Supposing that this has something to do with the personal name koyṣiśke (IOL Toch 258 a1), we might assume that this is the plural of a putative *koyso (cf. kercapo - kercapiśke). Further, since this word appears after the units of measurement, it behaves similarly to kewye. Thus, we could assume that koysaṃ also denotes some sort of animal (which would also square well with the onomastics). However, since the context is so fragmentary, nothing can be said for certain. |
