KhS 2: "...and Grm bought the horse" (yaqūlūna ʾaḫaḏtu šayʾan min fulān bi-maʿnā ištaraytu-hu).
Commentary
This inscription is found on the same rock as the drawing described in Associated Drawings. All of the senses of Safaitic ʾḫḏ are not yet clear. It is, however, unlikely that the author (ʾʾs¹d) would not mention himself in the narrative. image not available
