Textual Notes
= TAD D.7.5
cv 2: Note the nuns are defective, likely due to the curvature of pot’s rim. The second נ was written the head then the tale followed by a third stroke that defectively elongates the tale. The first two strokes of the first נ are identical, but the defective third stroke of the first נ is written next next to the letter and resembles a dot.
