Usage notes
- Thurneysen[1] considers this form, which occurs only in the passage quoted above, to be a scribal error for adib, but since the -b in that form is taken over from the 2nd person plural pronoun and is not an original verb ending, it is also quite possible that this is a genuine archaic form.
