Interpretation
- Commentary
- The h of s²ʿhqm has been omitted and it is possible that a h has also been left out after ʾb, and ʾb -h "his father" should be read. On the other hand, this may be one of a handful of examples of the divine name s²ʿ-h-qm spelt s²ʿqm, see for instance KRS 56, 399, 1342, etc.
