Capital N in incantations

[Anton]

Let's approach it the other way around.

Suppose the "M/N" is where the spell-caster is to fill their name. The result that is expected is that the person N shall have some positive output from the spell being cast. That output would be defined in the form of request.

Like, "cure N from something" or "help N to do something", etc.

The "request" would not be far from its object, the N, in the sentence. It would be adjacent.

Let's answer the following questions:

a) in Latin (since it's all closer to Latin than to another language), would the request be expressed before or after the word N?
b) us having located the "request-candidate" words, what could they express in the context of a request? Like, take "fix", or maybe fix[it], does that make sense in medical, religious or other appropriate contexts? There are not that many possible contexts. One is wishing to be:

healthy
wealthy
wise
young
beautiful

and his enemies and competitors to be all to the contrary.

That's your spell in a nutshell.

What was the root form of "ola" as "offering" again?

Need to dig the thread, that was Searcher's finding.

Anyway as Helmut says we are looking at an imperfectum so "Anchiton you gave ola".

Yes, correct.
