Abstract

This paper argues that Tocharian B koṣko, koṣkīye does not mean ‘hut’, as was taken for granted, but ‘pit, hole’; and that it is not an inherited Indo-European word, but an Iranian loanword in Tocharian B. Although the possibility of a borrowing from an unknown Middle Iranian language cannot be excluded, an unattested (Pre-)Bactrian form *kōškā is demonstrated to be the most likely source of this loanword.

掉进坑里

本文认为吐火罗语B koṣko, koṣkīye并非“hut”的意思，而是“pit, hole”的意思;它不是一个继承的印欧词，而是吐火罗语b中的一个伊朗外来词。尽管不能排除从一种未知的中伊朗语言借用的可能性，但未经证实的(前)大夏语形式*kōškā被证明是这个外来词最有可能的来源。
