Commentary: The second letter of the first name and the third letter of the fifth name are similar in shape, both are a curve with a short hook and a longer hook extended beyond the back of the curve at the other end. It would be unusual to have k's of this shape and it seems most likely that in the first case the author has for some reason extended one arm of a letter r and in the second case the copyist has made a mistake by giving the letter a second shorter arm where if the letter is a k there is usually no arm at all. The copy of the second letter of the fifth name has indications that there might be an elongated loop attached to the line. There is shading over the z and y of the word which according to the commentary have been damaged are restored on the basis of the context.
