Interpretation

Commentary
The text was not published by WH. It is incised vertically below the male camel. The second letter is probably a ʾ, though there is an incomplete line across one fork. The third letter has a shallower curve than the b of bn and so has been interpreted as a r. The penultimate letter is more angular than the b of bn and has a horizontal line, which may or may not be intentional, protruding from one side.

Associated Drawings
One male camel and two female camels
