NSR: l s¹ʿd bn --
Commentary
It is likely this is practice text or written by someone who was unfamiliar with the alphabet. There is a dot between the first and second letter but it is probably a stray hammer mark. The s¹ is in the shape of a V facing vertically in which the two lines are incompetently joined. The d seems to have been formed by inscribing a vertical and a horizontal stroke first which have then been clumsily joined together to form a loop. There are three hammered dots below the bn and then some larger hammered marks which were probably an attempt to continue the text.
