1.1.4Meaning

The verb takkuranda is found in an incantation performed by the Old Woman during a ritual/festival. The presumed "subject(s)" of the sentence are araš (and/or) dānniš, although they could be direct objects (acc. pl.) instead, which would make the subject of the sentene the Tabarna and Tawananna expressed by the enclitic denomstrative pronoun. No semantic assignment is offered for this lexeme; cf. Carruba 1972a:53.
