ELHT Wādī al-Zaydāniyyah Tay 19

Norris (forthcoming) has recognized this as an abecedary. On the word dividers between the sections and its relationship to other ANA abecedaries, see Al-Jallad and Prioletta (2026). The initial h of the normal hlḥmq order has been replaced by an alif, probably due to the folk etymologization of the first word family. A similar pheomenon is attested a partial Himaitic Abecedary; see Al-Jallad and Prioletta (2026) for further discussion. 

The n in s¹k{n} has had an extra curving line added to its lower line making it look like s². But the lines of this lower part are thinner than the rest of the letter and are almost certainly extraneous. Similarly, the ḫ after word-divider has had a thicker line added to the fork at the top and another stroke thicker than those of the letter has been added to the tail at the bottom creating a fork. The clear example of s² in w s²rbt shows that this letter with a fork must be a ḫ. The following letter has been very effectively hammered over except for a fork at the bottom which is not present in any known Taymanitic letter. This is followed by a word-divider and then an s³ followed by three letters which have been hammered over. The repetition of the t in the final letter family is unexpected.
