ẓhr: Inscription KRS 3092 was authored by the brother of the present text's author and has an identical geneology, attesting the name of the grandfather as ẓhr. On this basis, the small tail beneath the h is regarded as damage and does not warrant reading ẓʾr. Furthermore, ẓʾr is otherwise unattested as a personal name in the Safaitic corpus.
ʾb -[[h]]: The author originally carved ʾb-ḥ but subsequently corrected it to ʾb-h.
