Translation Notes:
2ḥyww and hḥds¹w are pluralis maiestatis. Schneider suggests for the verb ḥyw that it is an intensive form II with the meaning of "to restore" (Schneider 1961: 63). For hḥds¹w see the commentary of inscription Addi Akaweh 1.
-mw is a suffixed pronoun that corresponds to -hmw (Robin and de Maigret 1998: 785).
ʾws¹n (<WṮN) is attested only in this inscription.
