Interpretation

Commentary
The second letter might be a m. The bn and the patronym are not very clear on the photograph but it seems that the first b has a hook as does the b of the word bky. The inscription appears to be unfinished probably because the rock is rough after the w although there is a horizontal line above the ʾ and w which might be an attempt at a continuation.
