By {ʾg}

Interpretation

Commentary
The ʾ has a shallow curve joining two of the prongs. The shape of the g is rather elongated and the curves at the top and the bottom seem to be inscribed in shallower lines. It is possible that originally two l's were written and then joined up to form the shape of g.
