Interpretation

Commentary
The third name is clearly ns²dʾl. The first letter of the fourth name could be a k but it is not certain whether or not the stroke to the side is part of the letter.The author originally wrote the fourth name {b}m omitting the h. He then scratched over the m and wrote h above it and continued the text at the level of the h. It was this that led WH to divide it into two texts.
