H-nq here and in the other texts can either be a place name or a common noun comparable to the Arabic word nīq ‘mountain-top’. The phrase ẓl[l] h- nq, literally ""the ẓll-ceremony of the mountain top"" could therefore mean either ""the ẓll-ceremony performed on the mountain top"" (as we have translated it) or ""the ẓll-ceremony of the mountain top""  implying that there was a special form of the ceremony for performance on the mountain top.
Given that the inscriptions mentioning h-nq are located on the way up Jabal ʿIkmah or at the top of Jabal Umm Daraǧ, this interpretation seems appropriate and it seems unlikely that nq in these cases would refer to the sacrifice of female camels (nāq or nūq).",,"Al-ʿUlā, Al-Madīnah Province, Saudi Arabia",https://ociana.osu.edu/inscriptions/13752
