Interpretation

Commentary
There is a circle which has been hammered over before the first letter of the third name. It seems possible that the author began writing w wgd and then decided to include the third name and so crossed out the w. The final letter is doubtful. It has a tail and it is possible it is a y. If the tail is a slip in inscribing the letter might be a g or m.
