Fhdn son of Nghm and he stayed (here)

Interpretation
- Commentary
-
fhdn: The common Arabian name fahd 'leopard' with perhaps a hypocoristic ending, n.
nghm: While the name ghm is popular across Arabia, a form with an n-prefix is unattested.
mkd: Cognate with Classical Arabic makada 'to stay, dwell' (Lane, 2728a).
