Interpretation

Commentary
The photograph shows both that the copy in SIJ is inaccurate and that Winnett's reading is correct. Both the lām auctoris and the final letter have a slight curve at one end and are clearly l's and the fourth letter is a clear ʿ not w. The dot shown on the copy at the end of the text is a stray mark.
