Interpretation

Commentary
Some of the lines of the first two names have been re-traced with hammered lines and the inside of the first w has been scratched over. The first name is difficult to explain although the shape of the ḏ is quite clear. The author has used two different forms of ḥ one with the lines tapering to a point and the other with a straight back and three horizontal lines.
