31. We read with S and L: ’grams. This is a variant of gram, the intransitive verb meaning “to be spread, dispersed, scattered.” See Golstein (2004), s.v. ’grams. The numerous implausible variants in editions (D, A: ’drams; K, KY: ’drangs; C: ’drems; S, L: ’grams; Cds: missing) suggest that the word in question was not understood by scribes. A search of the BDRC site shows that ’drams (homophonous with ’grams) is not attested elsewhere.
