Berber Six pointed Stars

Six pointed Stars above mysterious marks carved on a Berber stone lamp bought recently by David Mimon while visiting the Sahara Desert, Morocco. If you can decipher this writing you are invited to write to Eli Eshed, who published an article about this lamp in his blog: "the universe of Eli Eshed". It seems to me that the Hebrew word on the right is "cancer".
