Interpretation

Commentary
Note that 1179–1181 are all on the same stone. From the genealogy in KRS 1179, it would seem that the author of KRS 1180 is the great grandfather of that author and the great great grandfather of the author of KRS 1181. From this, it appears that the word ʿm is used for "grandfather" and all generations above him.
