Interpretation
- Commentary
- The eleventh letter has a loop at one end which is not completely closed. The name grmy is not attested and neither is grml as read by SIJ. It is possible the letter should be emended to l and the name grmlh read. If this is correct, the final -h and the following definite article may have been treated as a geminate consonant and therefore not carved twice (see Al-Jallad 2015: 38). The last letter is only a slight dash.
