Interpretation
- Commentary
-
The fact that there is no mention of the deity for whom the ẓll ceremony is performed, the lack of a substantive (or substantives) after the preposition in line 4, and that the enclitic pronoun in line 5 is plural when only one person has been mentioned suggest that the author may have been unfamiliar with the normal formulae.
