Language and Script
Safaitic

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
WH: ʿly for ʿ{l}{y}
Commentary
It is difficult to justify the loop on the final letter of the second name. The letter preceding it, {l}, has a similar loop, but reading it as y would produce the unattested name ʿyy. On the other hand, it is possible to read both as l, producing the name ʿll.
