Interpretation

Commentary
NB the text is written round a drawing of a hybrid. Note the definite article hn- (compare Is.H 327) See Macdonald (in press, a) for the reasons for translating ʿ(y)r in Safaitic as a hybrid, that is a "mule" (the offspring of a male donkey x female horse) or a "hinny" (the offspring of a male horse x female donkey).
