Interpretation

Commentary
There are three lines before the initial l which appear to be extraneous. The letter before the k is a w and it is unclear whether the author made a mistake or whether the letter has been altered. It seems most likely that the latter is the case as it would be odd to confuse the shapes of a w and a b.
