Commentary
First published in Pellegrini & Sebesta 1965: 8 f. (no. 1).
Images in Pellegrini & Sebesta 1965: 8 (drawing) and fig. 3 (photo), IR (drawing = LIR), LIR (photo).
Written in two lines: the first sinistroverse, running from the inner to the outer end of the piece of antler, in taller letters, length about 12.5 cm; the second running the same way, but upside-down in relation to the first, and dextroverse, in smaller letters, length about 7.5 cm. They are considered to belong together as one inscription – both have Sigma turned with the upper angle opened in writing direction, and Alpha in the form .
It is unclear exactly how much of the lines is missing in the beginning. The fragment bearing the first preserved letters of line 1 shows that the drilled hole on this side was situated under the letter preceding , which allows an estimate of about two, possibly three, but maybe just one letter before . (Remember that the length of the object in its current restored state is a mere guess.) Of the letter immediately before only an oblique scratch in the lower area is left; the options are , or 
(hardly before the cluster ). The short scratch in the middle of the line after is read as a punctuation mark because of the phonetic improbability of a sequence uimn, but see below. The rest of the line is clear up to final , which probably features an inscribed punctuation mark (cp. SR-7, which is a less complete version of line 1, as well as SR-10).
In line 2, initial appears to be preceded by a hasta, the upper part of which coincides with the breaking edge – possibly (as read by Pellegrini & Sebesta 1965). In the two other instances of , the letter is damaged, but in both cases the reading is unambiguous. The only problematic element is the short scratch after , which can be read as or as a punctuation mark. While there is a punctuation mark of the same shape in line 1, the of aχvil is already shorter than that in line 1 and also the one which probably precedes the first . Cp. a possible sequence aχvili (an inflected form of aχvil?) in BZ-4. Additionally, there is the possibility of final -ske being a repitition of ](i)ske in the beginning. (Indeed, aχvili- would fit well into the initial lacuna.) The attribution of s before aχvil is dubious.
