LDV cloudburst (part 5)

Leonardo Da Vinci’s, A cloudburst of material possessions c1506 -12 

Black chalk pen and ink (part 5)

What Alphabet / Lettering system?
From the given description, there is a lion prowling in the clouds at top left, its head in two positions, and the note above, ‘on this side Adam, on that, Eve’ (see part 1).

Looking at those letters, it seems odd that the letter ‘N’   looks regular and not mirrored.  Could this be a Greek or Latin version of N?

There also seems to be some lettering around the ‘lion’s’ face.  So looking from it’s left ear and both eyes, there appears to be the letter ‘w’.

Blended  in with the w is what looks like the letter ‘k’. 

Then to the right, parallel to the ground, is what looks like a ‘v’.

Place (left side of illustration)

Some people believe that Leonardo went to Egypt. The lady’s face to the right seems to have horns behind her head. Could this be the ancient Bull / Apis mountain?

Furthermore, the right side of the lion’s face seems to have a nemes headdress. The lion’s left cheek appears to be broken into five pieces. Could the head be a representation of the Sphinx?
