Interpretation
- Commentary
- The above is one possible interpretation of the inscription as the letters are crudely hammered and the author appears to have attempted to join them together. The circular shape after the fourth letter is probably a b and n joined together. The next letter might be a ḫ or a t and the following line a l attached to a b. The next letter is probably a n with a hammer mark attaching it to the back of the d. After the ʾ there is a straight line, possibly a l, joined slightly to one fork of the ʾ and then joined to the next letter which is a b.
