Language and Script
Safaitic

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
C: l- -h dm for l h [h-] dm Al-Jallad: l h dm "and he has indeed drawn"
Commentary
It is probable that this is one of the common cases in Safaitic where the 3rd person masculine enclitic suffix -h assimilates the following definite article h-, as in l-h rgm for *l-h h-rgm (e.g. CSNS 412).
