Interpretation

Commentary
There are extraneous lines around the lām auctoris. There is a line across the second ʿ but the letter is much smaller than the w following the next bn. The l of the third name is curved. The b and n of second bn are joined together forming a circle and the third bn has the appearance of half a m.
