Interpretation

Commentary
The second letter is rather large and has an usual stance. There is possibly an ʿ which has been filled in after the first r. The sixth letter has a crossbar which appears to be slightly shallower and was probably added later. If it is intentional then the word would read bt "daughter". The letters of the second name have been altered. The first has been filled in and lines have been joined to the arms of the next letter. One of them extends beyond the letter and the other stretches to the back of the following letter which might be a s¹.
