Interpretation

Commentary
There are hammer marks which are probably intended to join the l, r, and f at the beginning and hammer marks attached to the back of the b which might be an attempt to join the letter to the preceding t. There is also a line running from the middle of the b which might have been inscribed in an attempt at joining or else to change the letter to a ḥ in order to make nonsense of the text.
