We don't as yet have the original, so have to make do with the blow up of the reduced image. I thought it may be 2 or 3 characters.
I guess that's possible, but it does not look like it to me. I personally do not know of any word that looks like that. No letters would look quite like that on the left either.

If we don't have the original how do we know it is real?
