Interpretation

Commentary
The ʾ has a loop in the middle of the vertical stroke and it is possible that someone has tried to alter the letter probably to a d. After the b, there are two zig-zag lines inscribed in parallel which are possibly the hind legs of an unfinished drawing of an animal, similar in style to the legs of the completed animal next to them. The line below the animal and after the g above it are more lightly inscribed than the letters and are extraneous to the inscription.
