DeleteDon't know if technically a nekuda., just looking at the letter it looks more like a symbol for transformers or something than a pey!
ReplyDeleteFixable at the very least.
ReplyDeletethanks for this interesting question - at least a shaylas tinok is called for before fixing ! this is at least a minor shinuy tzura that needs a tinok to read it correctly.
