Interpretation
- Commentary
- The lām auctoris andletters of the entire genealogy have been joined together. The joining of the letters does not continue at the start of the narrative, beginning with h. The reading of ʾlf is uncertain. The first letter of the word looks more like a ḫ but could reasonably be a ʾ.
