this may be purley graphic - in order to represent the u" sound.

it is taken from a gravestone inscription belu": - y - k (+u", 3rd

ya: (y) written seperately belu"w y ku" . w and y have no vowel signs
on them, w is a "vowel letter" to represent length. so either belu":k
or there is diphthong belu":yk
