Yes, Koen and Stolfi are right—the last letter is a “tz”—it says “Geitz,” which means “stingy".
But since you’re still looking for “gas milch,” that would mean two glyphs are missing!
The original German word is “geis” or “gaiz,” meaning “goat” (you can see the similarity between German and English, but there are always two vowels)
And then the “L” is also missing in “mich,” but it’s actually “milch” and often even “milich.” (milk, here in english the L is there too)
To turn “gas mich” into “geismilch,” at least two glyphs are missing. That’s very, very unlikely.
