Interpretation
- Commentary
- The letters have been joined which makes them difficult to read. It is impossible to identify the signs immediately before ʿr. See Macdonald (in press, a) for the reasons for translating ʿ(y)r in Safaitic as a hybrid, that is a "mule" (the offspring of a male donkey x female horse) or a "hinny" (the offspring of a male horse x female donkey).
