Other Notes:

[N2] The term 'kosher' implies that she kept an orthodox-Jewish household.
[N3] The spelling וצניע rather than וצנועה appears for 'modest'.
[N4] The spelling ללין rather than ללין appears for 'to sleep'.
[N6] The 'ב of this abbreviation probably stands for 'daughter of'. The 'ה'מ is an honorific.
[N7] The 3-letter abbreviation לפ'ק stands for לפרט קטן 'by the small count'. It often appears as a ligature, whereby these letters coalesce to form a single symbol. It confirms that the numeral 5 for 5000 is absent, it being obvious; a gravestone would have to predate the civil year 1239/40 for it to belong to the previous Jewish millennium.
