NOTES. — 1. i. e. never have I heard anything like it (so scandalous). — 
2. i.e. makes the beginning by making advances towards a man. so:tut'tumik 
and so‘tup'utin in lines 3, 4, 7 and 8 seem to be from the same stem as WGr. 
sorsup'a ‘attacks, assaults one’ (otherwise it might seem to be derived from 
sujo (>> $0:-) ‘in advance, first before anything else’). — 6. Namely by em- 
bracing a man, cf. WGr. 0`Пр`09 ‘trembles’, and o-L:utiga: ‘trembles at it’ 
(a danger, etc.). — 10. -ser ‘you have to do with, or, treat like.’ — 11. Instead 
of the infixed -cerzer- it here seems that one should read -lercer- or -lercar- 
‘tells about’ (Kuannia). The communicator himself commented thus: akin- 
тегза`‘грод ‘she intends to retaliate, namely by deceiving a man in the dark 
by pretending that she herself is a man.’
