be left out of the question, the fact that both in 21/27 and 21/41 s is
written over ne, as if by an afterthought, suggests that ne, which is
identical in spelling with the auxiliary of the future, must be the verb
n*s., ' go' (attaching itself to ito-y : novi, ' futurus esse '), as opposed to
iihot, 'come'(which is qualitative of ei; see Kabis, A. Z., 75. 107).
is practically the qualitative of tye (Stern, § 348). The correction
of ne to I in both passages would therefore be particularly remarkable.
Although, according to Steindorff, § 251, the qualitative is admissible
in the conjunctive it seems difficult after oj-Mrre- : hence no doubt the
correction; but if it be possible, the meaning would be ' until she be
going,' while s expresses ' until she go.' It would seem that the scribe
was puzzled by the ne, hence the mistakes and corrections. The follow-
ing table of forms of the verbs ' come ' and ' go ' may be useful:—
