Interpretation
- Commentary
- It looks as though the author wrote an ʾ and then surrounded the letter with a loop either as decoration or to form the w in the name ḥs²kw. The first letter of the fourth name might be a ẓ. The next letter is damaged by hammering but three prongs are visible and the l is written to the side of of the ḥ and y and it is difficult to know whether it is a letter or extraneous to the text. The letter after the second h is damaged and badly formed. It is possible it should be read as a ʿ.
