Interpretation

Commentary
It is possible that the letter after the second ʾ is a rectangle in which some of the lines are not joined and the horizontal lines do not appear to be as deep as the other lines and the letter should be read as a g. However it is more likely it should be read as two letters a n followed by an ill-formed f. The last four letters are inscribed in a different technique.
