Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- MST p. 9 n. 46: w qyẓ brkt - and he spent the dry season at Brkt WH: translate qyẓ as "spent the summer"
- Commentary
- The Arabic verb qāẓa usually takes an object introduced by b-, making it possible that the final word should be parsed as b- rkt. However, locative objects in Safaitic are not infrequently introduced without a preposition.
