Just a note

[edit]

The gravestone bears a name which is preceded by the word "nafar" which looks like a given name, but IMHO it is not. Most probably it stands for "nefer" (older word in Turkish for "er", private or conscript, a soldier without rank) as transcribed from Ottoman Turkish. This information, if not wrong, could be of help to people who may wish to use this file. --E4024 (talk) 17:27, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
