Other Notes:

[N] A fragment with the abbreviation ת נ צ ב ה was incorrectly combined at the base of this gravestone.
[N7] 5698 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].
[N7] The year 5698 appears as תרח'ץ [600+8+90] rather than the usual hundreds/tens/units format תרצ'ח [600+90+8], because the latter spells the Hebrew word for 'murder' or 'kill'. תרצ'ח was therefore often avoided on gravestones that year, throughout the Jewish world, for fear of 'the evil eye' עין הרע.
