Interpretation
- Commentary
- The reading of y at the end is clear although it is difficult to explain. It is possible that it is a dual form "two paternal uncles" although one would expect the enclitic pronoun -h “his”. The two possible interpretations would seem to be either that ddy is a previously unknown personal name, or that the author has changed to the first person and it means “my paternal uncle”.
