Commentary
It seems most likely that the ʾ is a form of the article and not part of a plural form. There is only one horse in the drawing and although there are two camels if they were both mentioned then it is most likely that the dual form would have been used. In addition ʾbkrt would be an unlikely plural form for the noun bkrt. This provides unambiguous evidence for an ʾ article, rather than ʾl with assimilation of the coda to coronals. An invariable ʾ- article occurs in some contemporary dialects of Arabic in the Yemen. For other examples of the use of ʾ for the definite article see HaNSB 312-313, 315-316. The script of this text has mixed features, see also HaNSB 306, 307, 308.
