Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
SIAM II p. 191: read w ḏll after hnʾ which is probably the name of another person for whom the author grieved.
Commentary
The third w and the ḏ have been scratched over. The stone partly covered a grave cut in the soil on the southern face of the cairn in which the body of a woman was found. See HCH p. 11.
