This is the inaugural paper of a series on material attested in ancient North Arabia inscriptions that is of particular importance to the history of Arabic, its linguistic context, and its development and classification. The article edits eleven Safaitic inscriptions, inscribed on seven stones, discovered during the 2019 Badia Survey in Northeastern Jordan. Most of these texts attest new grammatical and lexical features that shed important light on this shadowy phase of Arabic’s pre-Islamic history, including attestations of the subordinating particle ḥt (= ḥattV), the negator ls (= laysa), possible nūnation, and idioms that appear later in the Qurʾān, e.g. tmny h-mt ‘he wished for death (in combat)’ (cf. Qurʾān tamannūna l-mawta).

这是关于古代北阿拉伯铭文中证实的材料系列的首篇论文，这些材料对阿拉伯语的历史、语言背景及其发展和分类具有特别重要的意义。这篇文章编辑了 2019 年在约旦东北部巴迪亚调查期间发现的 7 块石头上的 11 条萨法伊铭文。这些文本中的大多数都证明了新的语法和词汇特征，这些特征为阿拉伯语前伊斯兰历史的这个阴暗阶段提供了重要的启示，包括对从属助词ḥt (= ḥattV )、否定词ls (= laysa )、可能的 nūnation 和习语的证明出现在古兰经后面的，例如 tmny h-mt“他希望死亡（在战斗中）”（cf. Qurʾān tamannūna l-mawta）。
