Comment
Two varieties exist: those with the legend starting at the top and those with the legend starting at the bottom.Looking at the bottom, on the former, there is a loop ending in a point pointing towards the tamgha on the left side and an X-like character on the right side; on the latter, there is a Y-like character pointing away from the tamgha on the left side and an N-like character on the right side.
Looking at the top, the above statement is revered and inverted: on the former, there is an N-like character and a Y-like character, and on the latter, there is an X-like character and a loop.
