HaNSB 145: translation of h- ṣfḥt "the side of the mountain"
Commentary
We connect ṣfḥt to Arabic ṣuffāḥ pl. ṣuffāḥāt "camels with large humps" or, it could possibly be a sound plural of ṣāfiḥ "camel, ewe, or goat whose milk is drying up" (Lane 1696a). This translation is supported by the fact that the inscription appears along with an drawing of a camel.
