            <p>Our interpretation assumes that <foreign>talāṅ</foreign> and <foreign>jamalaṅ</foreign> are precursors of the toponyms Tà Làng and Xamơ (Samo) that designate places near the site of the inscription until this day. The word <foreign>tauṅ</foreign> has so far only been encountered in expressions of duration of time, but here seems to express extent of space. The reading and meaning of the penultimate word are uncertain, but we must be dealing with a noun countable with object classifier <foreign>vauh</foreign>, derived with infix <foreign>-an-</foreign> from a base <foreign>katāy</foreign> or <foreign>kanāy</foreign>. It seems that <foreign>ño</foreign> must be variant of the third-person pronoun that is <foreign>ñū</foreign> elsewhere in Old Cham (<bibl><ptr target="bib:Griffiths2025_01"/><citedRange unit="page">67-69</citedRange></bibl>).</p>
