Other Notes:

[N3] The phrase מנשים באהל תבורך – '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&9] חיה is slightly abbreviated to 'חי to avoid inscribing the divine name יה.
[N6] The 'ב of this abbreviation probably stands for 'daughter of'. The ה'מ' is an honorific.
[N6] אריה is slightly abbreviated to 'ארי to avoid inscribing the divine name יה.
[N7] 5689 was a Jewish leap year. As such, it had two Adar months – an extra intercalated First Adar [Adar I] and the usual Adar, renamed Second Adar [Adar II].
