Abstract
Abstract Two new folios from the Old Khotanese epic Buddhist poem the Book of Zambasta have recently come to light. One folio contains the word dīñu which is thrice attested elsewhere in both Old ( dīñi, dīña ) and Late Khotanese ( dīñä ) and has been puzzling. The new attestation provides context which helps to establish the approximate meaning of the word. It also provides a new shape (- u ) which establishes the morphology. Most shapes (- u, -i, -ä ) attest a second singular imperative middle of dīñ - “to overthink”. This finding improves the translation of several passages. dīñ - appears to be a denominal verb from * dīnā - “thought”, cognate to Avestan daēnā - “view, vision” and related to Vedic dhī - “think, reflect”. The semantic development appears to be “see” → “think” → “overthink”.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
