Interpretation

Commentary

ṯwy: The final word is highly conjectural and so no conclusions should be based on the reading here. It is possible to understand it as ṯwy, perhaps related to Classical Arabic maṯwà 'abode.' If correct, it is not clear whether this refers to the ruins of the structure at the site, a temporary shelter, or a term for a grave.
