Interpretation
- Commentary
- GMHK gives the following senses of the word bhʾ in Arabic: Lane 263a: bahaʾa bihi - he was or became friendly or familiar with him; Lisān 1: bahaʾtu bihi - ʾanistu bihi “ I became friendly”; anahum ʾanisū bihi - ḥatta qallat haybatuhu (fear) f¡ qulūbihim; bahaʾa al-bayt - HDic - move camp - from Munjid. It is impossible to determine sense of this verb from the context of this inscription. The photograph cuts off the inscription following ḥ, but there surely more.
