TEXT Jaussen & Savignac followed by Grimme, Caskel, Al-Qudrah and Farès-Drappeau: h- nyt for hn----. DISCUSSION Ryckmans, G. 1937: 328. Macdonald 2004: 520.
Commentary
The same genealogy occurs in JSLih 310. Line 3. The last two letters can only be read on the copy (Jaussen & Savignac 1909–1920, ii, XCIV, CXXXVII) and it can be seen on the photographs of the squeeze that the mark between the n and the possible {t} is unlikely to be a y as in the copy since it has no circle at the top, and, given its position, squashed between the n and the t, and its nondescript appearance, is likely to be a fault in the rock.
