This is a rare syncopated form of the word ποτνιος*, masculine, also rare, from πότνια, ἡ, the feminine adjective, meaning august, holy, sacred, venerable, epithet of goddesses; also used when speaking of an elderly woman; by extension when speaking of personified things such as the earth, the night, modesty, etc.
However, if we read k EVA as m, the word would be πότμος – that which befalls one, lot, destiny; in Homer always of evil destiny, especially of death of the killer. After Homer without a sense of evil, fate, destiny, in general, also personified Destiny.
If podkor is ποτνος, should it be read together with the following word, ποτνος otedy – august otedy?
And if podkor is πότμος, is it linked, on the contrary, to the preceding word, tcheodar πότμος – the destiny of tcheodar?
