Interpretation

Commentary
A thin line has been added to the ʿ , the arms of the first b have been joined up, a wavy line has been attached to the d, and a diagonal line inscribed across the y, possibly in an attempt to form a y, g, m, and ḫ respectively. A line has also been added joining the arms of the s¹. Some lines of the last two letters are faint.
