Interpretation
- Commentary
- {ṣ}ḥ{b}: It is difficult to see in the photograph whether the bottom of the first letter is the circle of a ṣ or the fork of a ʾ. The bottom does resemble a circle more than a fork and it is a much shorter shape than the fork at the top of the letter, so is almost certainly a ṣ. The third letter resembles a k due to the diagonal line at the bottom of the shape. It is likely that these two lines are extraneous and that the letter is a b. ẖll: The negative photograph seems to show two l's after the ẖ.
