Other Notes:

[N2] The term 'kosher' implies that she kept an orthodox-Jewish household.
[N3-4] The phrase מנשים באהל תברך – 'of women (who dwell) in tents most blessed' [Judges 5:24], is often encountered on female gravestones. These words of praise are totally removed from their biblical context, which refers to the heroine Yael bravely killing the enemy general Sisera by driving a tent peg through his temple as he sleeps.
[N5] חיה is slightly abbreviated to 'חי to avoid inscribing the divine name יה.
[N5] The ב' of this abbreviation probably stands for 'daughter of'. The ה'מ' is an honorific.
