Interpretation
- Commentary
- The passage between wrd and the prayer is difficult to interpret. It seems unlikely that nmrt here refers to al-Namārah since this always appears as h-nmrt in Safaitic. The author wrote mrwḥ after the deity's name and then crossed the letters out and wrote the word rwḥ next to them.
