Textual Notes
cc 3: נפק ◦[...] <note>Ln. 3, פ: cf. ln. 1 ב, and note the short descenders in this hand. Ln. 2 agrees with Lemaire, “Review,” 181. Ln. 3 Lemaire suggests בק “jar”.</note>
cv 2: <note>D-stem</note>
cv 3: <note>It is difficult to interpret the fem. dem. pro. in view of the first three letters. HL “herb” or “tas de pierres” is possible, but neither are expected to fem. without a final ה/ת. The term דגל is once attested with a gendered pronoun as masc., but in theory could be fem. (Brook. 47.218.93 ln. 2). Final alef so far never marks fem. forms in IA.</note>
