Interpretation

Commentary
The second l is written at an angle to the s¹ and it is possible that the two letters should be read as a ḥ. The second m is a different shape to the first one and the following n is partly covered by a chip. There is then another chip possibly covering a letter and a b written at 90° and a n.
