Interpretation

Commentary
The initial l is hidden by an abrasion. The author appears to have transposed the second and third letters of the third name. He has then crossed out his mistake and attempted to fit the ḫ between the ʾ and the w. There is not very much space and so he was unable to inscribe a straightforward cross and used the shape of an ʾ instead.
