KhU 3

Interpretation

Commentary: The last letter of the second name appears to have a loop half-way down the stem making it look like a d. However the area of the stem next to the "loop" has been more heavily scored than the rest of the letter and it is possible that the original line was deflected at this point by an unevenness on the surface and that the author then emphasized the intended line of the letter by repeatedly scratching the surface but did not score over the mistake. A name ʿnʾd would be difficult to explain.
