Language and Script
Dhofari 1a

Interpretation

Commentary

tmt: This female name is unattested in ANA, although the male anthroponym tmt is known from a pair of Safaitic inscriptions.

hwdt: This male anthroponym is attested four times so far in ANA, twice in Safaitic and twice in Hismaic. The d is extremely weathered but the glyph cannot be plausibly interpreted as anything else.
