Abstract
This study aims at presenting newly-found safaitic inscriptions dis-covered in the Black Desert, north-eastern Jordan by the Badia Epigraphic Survey (BES) during the second (2017) field season at Wādī ar-Ruʿaylah and in Wādī Suwayʿid. Through this paper, we aim to explain the toponyms Glʿd and Ngd in the Safaitic inscriptions, shed light on their interpretation in Safaitic and give translation and some commentary. This paper provides a comparison of inscriptions that mention these two toponyms in order to determine whether those names belong to a toponym or an adjective of a toponym.
