Norris (forthcoming) has recognized this as a hlḥm with word dividers between the sections. See Al-Jallad and Prioletta (forthcoming).
The n in s¹k{n} has had an extra curving line added to its lower line making it look like s². But the lines of this lower part are thinner than the rest of the letter and are almost certainly extraneous. Similarly, the ḫ after word-divider has had a thicker line added to the fork at the top and another stroke thicker than those of the letter has been added to the tail at the bottom creating a fork. The clear example of s² in w s²rbt shows that this letter with a fork must be a ḫ. The following letter has been very effectively hammered over except for a fork at the bottom which is not present in any known Taymanitic letter. This is followed by a word-divider and then a s³/ṯ followed by three letters which have been hammered over.
