Hello Howard,

There is a correction to the given name. The first part of the double given name is Channah rather than Chavah. My apologies for my mistake.

An explanation is as follows: The bottom part of the Hebrew letter "Nun" blends into the line of the form below it. This is what differentiates it from the "Vav" that I saw initially.
