- l rhḍ bn ḥy bn rhḍ ḏ- ʾl ḍf w [w] wg(m) ʿl- [ʾ](b)[g]r ḏ- ʾl ḍf
- Translation
- By Rhḍ son of Ḥy son of Rhḍ of the lineage of Ḍf {and} {he grieved} for {ʾbgr} of the lineage of Ḍf
Interpretation
- Commentary
- The spelling of ʾbgr as (b)[g]r following the preposition ʿl may suggest that the glottal stop was weakened in this context: *ʿalā ʾabgar > *ʿalā-bgar. The g looks more like a w but this may be an error on the part of the copyist.
