- Area H. This author was almost certainly responsible for Mu 32 as well and in both texts wrote b for bn. For other possible examples see WH 2529 2538 etc. He appears to have been unsatisfied with both texts since Mu 32 was left unfinished and Mu 33 was scratched over. He seems to have been an inexperienced carver since the shallower lines projecting from the the r and ʿ in Mu 32 (and possibly that across the r in Mu 33) suggest that his instrument slipped and if our interpretation is correct he repeated the ʿ of the patronym in Mu 33.
