ZSIJ 9: l ʿlmt bn qn h- ʿr w {ḍ}rw
Commentary
The last word is read ḍrw "hunting dog"] See Macdonald (in press, a) for the reasons for translating ʿ(y)r in Safaitic as a hybrid, that is a "mule" (the offspring of a male donkey x female horse) or a "hinny" (the offspring of a male horse x female donkey).
