Interpretation
- Commentary
- The shapes of some of the letters of the second and third names have been altered. The ġ has an additional curve on the curving part of the letter, both n's in this part of the text have been turned into loops, the y has been made into an elongated figure of eight, the b's of bn and s²br have a double curve and the s² of s²br has a line inscribed down one side of the zig-zag. It seems that the author wrote a s¹ after the name s¹ry and then wrote bn s¹mʿ realizing that he had forgotten the bn.
