Interpretation

Commentary
There is a line attached to the initial l and some hammering over part of the second letter. The fourth letter might be a r but it is more rounded than the other r in the text. The sixth letter has a hammer mark at one end. It might be the hammered loop of a y or it might be destructive covering the prongs of a h.
