Interpretation

Commentary
The author originally wrote ḥm. Upon realizing his error, he attempted to rub out the m and wrote an l over it. Four parallel lines, instead of the expected seven, follow the name, both of which are surrounded by a double line cartouche. Seven circles and a sun disk are to the right of the cartouche. A camel and a stick animal are also found on the same rock.
