Commentary
Linguistic commentary
| Note the depalatalization in menne. |
n1 | kṣutsa for kṣuntsa or kṣuṃntsa probably reflects the loss of the nasal rather than a simple misspelling (Pinault and Ogihara 2010: 176f.). |
n4 | sarātsaṃts is a gen.pl. of a nomen agentis in -ntsa sarāntsa* made from 'to plant' (Pinault and Ogihara 2010: 185). |
Philological commentary
Remarks
