comment |
Two vertical lines forming an angle, starting with the same two signs. First sign of both lines: could be a variant of Z3 Last sign of both lines: There are not three dots as shown in earlier documentations, but four. Nevertheless, the arrangement allows an interpretation as the Tifinagh sign for K. As H is written in three lines, this inscription could be assigned to the transitional alphabet. |

Kaache 2002: cd, d
p. 166: "Ses caractères rappelent le tifinagh, l'écriture berbère. D'après H. Claudot-Hawad, les lettres de cette inscription sont lisibles, mais son sens est indéchiffrable" |
