Other Notes:

[N3] Proverbs 31:20-31 is an ode to A Woman of Valor. It is sung traditionally at the Friday night dinner table just before Kiddush by the husband, gathered family and guests, in honor of the lady of the house. As such, phrases from it are often quoted on female gravestones – here from verse 20.
[N6-7] Avraham can be discerned under high resolution as the probable name here; what remains is only as the shadow of the original letters. Baruch and what might be deduced for the date, are less convincing.
