Native-script transcription is not available here; the reading follows the cited edition.

02 · Translation

A local personal name; perhaps ‘one who smokes/burns [the enemy's goods]’.

Project English gloss after Abraham J. Drewes, RIÉ III.B (2019), printed p. 380; uncertainty follows Drewes's record-level discussion.

The proposed Geʿez etymology is conjectural and should not be displayed as a literal translation without the qualifier ‘perhaps’.
