Interpretation

Commentary
The text is carved vertically down the right edge of the face and then turns left. It is possible that MKTF 21 is the end of this text but the form of the l is quite different from that of the examples in MKTF 22 and the l and the r are facing in the opposite direction to that of this text.

Associated Drawings
There is a rather crudely hammered she-camel in the space between MKTF 21 and 22.
