Other Notes:

[N2] The term 'kosher' implies that she kept an orthodox-Jewish household.
[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.
[N4] 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.
[N5] The letter i of Peril is almost silent; monosyllabic Perl is perhaps a closer pronunciation.
[N7] Rosh Chodesh [New Month, celebrating the 'new moon'] Adar consisted of two days – 29th Sh'vat and 1st Adar. Hence the eve of Rosh Chodesh inscribed here, would have been 28th Sh'vat.
