Reading uncertain, see the inscription page.

If correct, the sequence can be interpreted as a hypocoristic ''on''-stem personal name ''u̯ikū'' from the base {{m||u̯ik-}} 'fight' ({{bib|Morandi 2001}}: 10, {{bib|Morandi 2004|2004}}: 573 f. (no. 78), {{bib|Morandi 2004b|2004b}}: 83, {{bib|Morandi 2017}}: 369). Cf. {{w||viku}}.
