Commentary
Philological commentary
| n1 | Hapax legomenon. Meaning unclear. Reading after Ching. There could be a problem with the reading, since there doesn't appear to be an 'r' like Ching thinks. It looks a little bit like ko ntāp, for which cf. kau ntāp in THT 2747 a1. However, ko ntāp wouldn't make sense syntactically. |
