So, maybe, there is still probability that gas can be You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. or gaff (gaf mich=I gave myself???)
"... so take I gave myself" ?!
If that character is indeed an "f", then gaf would be a possibility also - especially since you have found "ik gaf" in another Germanic language. Usually "b" becomes "p" (Bocks -> Pox!) but evidently "f" is another possibility.
The standard pronoun would be Dative "mir" (ich gab mir), but some Germans say "gib mich" also.
Quote:Generally, I think, it is quite possible to be not gas, but gaf, also because of the line which comes from the letter "g" through the letter "a" and through the next letter (f or long s), it is just worn.
I can see why you think that - Anton says that that "worn" part is the beginning of the next "m". It's hard to tell, either way
Actually, I think so just looking at this part of the notes, as well, because of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
If my deciphering is even a little correct, the last line of the notes is:
"Retornare ineam walten ubr'en so nim gaf mich." I won't translate the first part in German, I'll just translate all this in English. So, with your help, I can get such translation: "May I enter (begin) to return. Rule over me (this). So take, I gave myself." Or, maybe: "May I enter (begin) to return to rule over this. So take, I gave myself." I don't mean "I gave to myself", but, probably, I haven't understood you clearly (I don't know German).
Correct me, if I'm wrong, please.
