=== Phonology ===
There are clear instances of ''d'' being used for /ḏ/ in the variant spellings of the divine name [[Dushara|Ḏū l-S<sup>2</sup>arā]]: as ''ds<sup>2</sup>r''/ or ''ds<sup>2</sup>ry'' as against classical ''ḏs<sup>2</sup>r''/ or ''ḏs<sup>2</sup>ry''.
 
The spelling of ''ʿbdmk'' <for ''ʿbdmlk'' suggests an interchange of ''n'' for ''l'' (with unvocalised ''n'' assimilated to the following ''k''), similar to that found in Nabataean where the name of the kings named [[Malichus|Malichos]] occurs as both ''mlkw'' and ''mnkw'' and the compound as both ''ʿbdmlkw'' and ''ʿbdmnkw''.<ref>http://krc.orient.ox.ac.uk/resources/ociana/publications/early_north_arabian_hismaic.pdf</ref>
