Notes

• Titles of the commandments appear as in Hebrew version, in the right margin in smaller writing; From the Judeo-Arabic version of the Azharah אתה הנחלת תורה לעמך (Davidson: Thesaurus of Medieval Hebrew poetry. New York : JTS, 1924, 8788א). The fragment (partially vocalized) contains, parallel to the Hebrew version (in Goldschmidt, Frenkel: Maḥazor Shavuʹot / Yonah Frenḳel, E.D. Goldschmidt [ed.]. Jerusalem : Koren, 2000, p. 617-623), ll. 10-58; See the description by S. Hahn, Ginze Ḳoifman, 1939, pp. 72-73; Halper's notes: In the language as well as in the orthography there is an attempt to imitate classical Arabic. Nevertheless there are such spellings as على = עלא , and له = להו. Some of the words are vocalized, the Tiberian system, as a rule, being used. The pronunciation, however, indicated by the vowels, is not classical, and in many cases the scribe displays ingnorance of elementary rules of Arabic grammar. Thus has has: בארץ֯ אלקֻדּסֻ פֿידאתּ אלטִאל. Systematical a dagesh lene is used in בגד כת. A short slanting line above te letter is used to indicate ف ;ظ;ض ;ذ ;خ ;ث (to differentiate it from פּ); while ض is represented by צ֯. The ش is usually written ש. In some cases a dagesh forte is written for a Tashdid, thus العمات = אלעַמּאת.
