「筆者」

Kanpi sisam fits the recorded components and the thesis’s kampi sisam analysis of the related witnesses. Kanpi/kampi covers paper, letters, literacy and learning; sisam identifies a Wajin. Their combination could designate a literate Wajin or a clerk, but the full expression has no independent corpus attestation here. Batchelor documents the longer kanpi nuye kur “scribe”, which includes a writing verb absent from this record. The commentary’s センビシシヤモ is a related variant, with Fukasawa questioning its initial kana. The exact occupational sense and construction remain unresolved.
