Interpretation
- Commentary
- The first letter has been joined to the third letter and the first d has been joined to the following b. Only a prong of the third letter from the end is visible as the rest is covered by a wasm. It is possible it should be read as a h ʾ or ṣ. The name and the letters h- dr are directly hammered and the rest of the inscription is scratched on to the rock. For s¹hr compare Classical Arabic suhār "sleeplessness" (Lane 1452a).
