WH 3926

Siglum
WH 3926
Transliteration
l mgr h- bkrt
Translation
By Mgr are the young she-camels

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
WH: "the she-camel" for "the young she-camels"
Commentary
Since the drawing shows three camels bkrt presumably represents the plural here.

Provenance
WH worked from photographs taken by Mr Barry Park in 1955 who gave them to Gerald Lankester Harding. Unfortunately, these have since disappeared, and the photographs here were taken during a survey of Jabal Qurma and Tell Farah by Michael C.A. Macdonald, Geraldine King, Ann Searight and David Jacobson in 1982.
