Textual Notes
cc 3: HL = י̇ת אחיאב בר but there is not enough room for two בs and a word dividing space. The spelling of the name with the final alef is perhaps the same as ˀAḥyô אחיו but with the Phoenician final ô represented with alef.
cc 5: HL restores א to make an impf. vb. either the imperfect or the participle can work here. More context is needed.
cv 2: Neither HL or D-S’s readings match the stroke patterns of the first letter. It looks like a clear צ.
cv 4: HL = למ.
