English reading
An uncertain personal name; perhaps an abbreviation of Kafla-Waḥad, or a form meaning ‘he will open/may he open’.
Project English gloss after Abraham J. Drewes, RIÉ III.B (2019), printed p. 442; uncertainty follows Drewes's record-level discussion.
The preferred direction and several signs remain disputed.
