And there is no “W” in Greek. Those should be small omegas, not “Ws”! (See the Amulet.)

Perhaps this is like a St. Christopher Medal, something sold at temple to 5th century cypriot tourists in Egypt, perhaps. They use the local language, Coptic or Egyptian, written with Greek letters. (Oddly, icons of St Christopher sometimes depicts him as having a Dogs head.)

They would use a digamma to transliterate a Semitic proper name that they were including in a Greek text. However, the endings of the words don't look much like valid nouns or verbs. How could a Greek parse and ending like -ΡΑΛ or -ΑΒW? It looks like a Semitic language to me.
