- Language and Script
- Safaitic
Interpretation
- Commentary
- The drawing shows a Bactrian camel and the fact that it is called h-gml in the inscription suggests that there was no special name in Safaitic for animals of this breed. For the interpretation of ḫḍʿ cf Arabic ḫaḍḍaʿa-hu "it (proverty) lowered, humbled or abased him" (Lane 758a).
