Abstract | The Berlin Khotanese fragment ‘bi 43’ seems to belong to an unidentified Buddhist text with spells against various evils. It contains the first attestation of the verb durṣḍä ‘it bites’, which makes it possible to bring together and assign to a verb *druv’- , pp. durṣṭa- ‘to bite, sting’ several Khotanese words that occurr in contexts of snakes and other biting or stinging animals and have been variously interpreted and explained so far: Late Khotanese drvīdä ‘they bite’, dū̆(r)ṣṭa- ‘bitten, stung’, Old Khotanese druvā ‘biting’, and drutāta ‘id.’. |
