Interpretation
- Commentary
- A Safaitic inscription in the collection of Widad Kawar. The second name is unattested but seems clear. It could possibly be ʾḫwʾ (also unattested) but the second letter is much more a t than a ḫ. This seems to be the first record of someone making a nfs¹t. All the other occurrences of the word are in the context l N h- nfs¹t.
