Interpretation

Commentary
m{s²}{k}{r}: The reading of this name is quite unclear. The name clearly begins with a m. The letter immediately after it appears to be the serriform line of a s². The next letter seems to be semicircle with a stem on the right, so is probably a k. The final letter could either be a r or a l, but there does seem to be a slightly curvature, so is most likely a r.
