English translation
A local personal name; perhaps ‘one who smokes/burns [the enemy's goods]’.
Project English gloss after Abraham J. Drewes, RIÉ III.B (2019), printed p. 380; uncertainty follows Drewes's record-level discussion.
The proposed Geʿez etymology is conjectural and should not be displayed as a literal translation without the qualifier ‘perhaps’.
