Interpretation

A reading of Bmr as Bgr should not be excluded. The verb ʾẓlt means "she performed the ẓll-ceremony", the exact nature of which we do not know. Usually, but not always, this verb is followed by the noun h-ẓll meaning "the ẓll-ceremony". Thus, ʾẓlt and ʾẓlt h-ẓll both mean "she performed the ẓll-ceremony". The significance of the enclitic pronoun -h is not clear.
