Commentary
Parallel texts
| PK NS 35 |
Philological commentary
| The translation follows Schmidt 2001: 311. | |
| In lines a1-b1 this fragment overlaps with PK NS 35 a3-b4. This fact helps in supplementing some important parts, and thus also contributes to a better understanding of the text. | |
| n1 | For the beginning, cf. the parallel PK NS 35 a 4. Thomas in Sieg and Siegling 1983: 237 restores a loc.sg. śaiṣṣene, followed by Schmidt 2001: 311 who translates: "(are very rare (?) in the) world". |
| n2 | The meter has 4 x 12 syllables (5/7). |
| n3 | ñś no doubt is the beginning of a derivative of ñiś "I, me". |
| n4 | kalma is most likely not a preterite form of kälm- "± to allow", but with Winter 1961: 95 rather a noun; syntactically, as a noun it can only be a nom.sg. In general, there are not many TB nom.sg. forms in -a, and usually they are derived feminine forms of the type oṅkolma "(female) elephant". Accordingly, the form in question here could also be a (female) animal name, perhaps a bird? |
| n5 | The meter has 4 x 11 syllables (5/6 or 6/5), according to Sieg/Siegling. |
Remarks
| A right-hand side fragment, probably from the leaf directly following THT 81, so originally leaf 16 of the manuscript. |
