2021, Ahmad Al-Jallad, Hythem Sidky, “A Paleo‐Arabic inscription on a route north of Ṭāʾif”, in Arabian Archaeology & Epigraphy, volume 33, number 1, →DOI, pages 202–215:The combination of brk and rb is quite spectacular from the perspective of the pagan Arabian inscriptions. In the tens of thousands of these documented so far—across North Arabian, South Arabian and Nabataean scripts—rb is never used as an epithet of the old gods and the verb brk "to bless" is virtually absent from invocations in the pre‐monotheistic period. Both appear to be part of the stock of monotheistic vocabulary borrowed into Sabaic from Hebrew and Aramaic in the fourth century CE, following the Ḥimyarite adoption of Jewish‐inspired monotheism.
