Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
MA ḫrml for trml
Commentary
The second letter is too small to be read as a ḫ (cf the the t of ḍhdt). The name is new but perhaps cf. Arabic tarm¡l (maṣdar of rml II) "defiling" or tarammul (maṣdar of V) "being defiled: (Lane 1159b and c). But are maṣdars used as names?
