Interpretation
- Commentary
- Ḫlf would appear to be the equivalent of Arabic ḫilfah that is plants that grow up after the spring herbage (bql) or "that comes forth not from rain but by reason of the cold of the latter part of the night", or herbage that appears in the season of ṣayf (Safaitic ṣyf) "after the spring herbage has dried up". (Lane 797a)
