Interpretation

Commentary
The particle lm with the prefix conjugation is only rarely found in Safaitic (see for instance MSNS 2). However, whereas in Arabic lam + the jussive refers to a past action, here it seems to refer to a possible future action. Note that the definite article is not used in this text. It would have been expected before dr and s¹fr.
