Interpretation
- Commentary
- The field copy has h ʿm after ws¹q but there is a second prong to the letter on the photograph which might however be shallower. If the letter is a h then another possible division of the text is ws¹q -h ʿm ʿl- ʿm. It is also possible that rm here means "oryx", cf. Arabic rīm [Lane 1204b]
