Commentary
The last 2 letters are on line 2 (to avoid the sign which must have been there first) but they run in the same direction as the rest of the text.

Associated Signs
At end of this and JSTham 518: a vertical line with 2 pairs of branches, with a dot on either side of the top of the vertical.
