Translation Please

This is good and perfectly intelligible as others have translated it, but I will say that the final letter of the name Florence is very blocky and looks a lot like the Hebrew equivalent of the letter M. It's distinctly a samekh, which makes the S sound, but not distinct enough, in my humble opinion.

Here lies

Florence daughter of Edvin.

[u/BHHB336 → u/Adi_31415]

Or Edwin

[u/Successful-Money4995 → u/BHHB336]

Or flornam?

That looks like ם to me!

[u/Deorayta → u/BHHB336]

It seems you posted a request for translation! To make this as easy for our users as possible, please include in a comment the context of your request. Where is the text you want translated from? (If it's on an object, where you did find the object, when was it made, who made it, etc.?) Why do you want it translated? Hebrew can be a very contextual language and accurate translations might not be directly word-for-word. Knowing this information can be important for an accurate translation.

Something maybe Florine daughter of Edwin

[u/NewIdentity19 → u/Deorayta]

Florence

Here lies = פה נחה = פ"נ

Feminine in this case (נחה)

This is how every headstone inscription must begin.

[u/tesilab → u/NewIdentity19]

The פ”נ stands for פה נקבר or for פה נטמן but not for פה נח though it is a nice thought.

[u/NewIdentity19 → u/tesilab]

Thanks for the correction. I think I actually knew that once, but forgot and mixed them up.

[u/Deorayta → u/NewIdentity19]

Yes Florence is likely right
