Interpretation

Commentary
A line has been hammered across the prong of the h of dd -h. After the second ḏ the author wrote a line with a small prong and then seems to have lightly scratched over it to change it into the third l. MKWS 8 is written by ḏl bn s²rk bn rbḥ who would presumably be the paternal uncle referred to. Hava: kamana "to lay hid"; Syr. kemen "lie in wait"; Aph. atbar "to rout" "for a rout" at the end ?
