Aujila Texts

Below we find a collection of all the collected Aujila texts in existence, transcribed and glossed by myself. These texts are taken from Paradisi (1960)1 and are numbered according to his publication.

I would like to thank Lameen Souag, Adam Benkato and Slavomír Čéplö for all the comments and making my translation and glossing much better than it would have been without them.
