Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: HaNS 190: translation of w tw{r} h- ṣfḥt "and returned to the side of the mountain (wa ʿāda {ʾilā) ṣafḥ al-jabal)
Commentary: Safaitic twr could be connected with Arabic tāra, Lane 322b: “it ran or flowed”; tawwarahu “he returned to him, it, time after time”; ʾatāra - “he repeated it or did it again time after time”. From other inscriptions, it seems best to connect Safaitic ṣfḥt specifically with the Arabic ṣuffāḥ, pl ṣuffāḥāt "camels whose humps have become large, so that the hump of the she-camel occupies the whole of her back" Lane 1696a, or "a she-camel, ewe or she-goat whose milk is going away: or a she-camel that has lost her young one, whose milk has gone”, Lane 1696a-b. The second r does not have hooks.
