Commentary
See the commentary to BRenv.J 36. The first letter of the name of the person grieved for must be a s² (compare the f of ḍʾf, which is typical of the script used by many members of this ʾl). The second letter of the name could be a g or a m. No. 40 is written in the corner of the face next to w wgm.
