Yeah, that's a good start. For what t's worth, I see traces of only 5 letters, but on account of the spacing I'm thinking 6 letters is more likely.
1 possibly V.
2 definitely A.
3 E or L.
4 B or D, I don't like G so much
5 ugh!
6 I can't see it, but I can sense it.

Sorry, but I'm not buying it. There are 9 or 10 letters, including one or two that follow the supposed "GNAC".
1 S
2 A
3 R or B, possibly P, but not L.
4 N or M, doubtful I.
5 C or O, possibly G
6 N
7 A
8 G, possibly C
9 possibly A or... well, it could be anything, but it's definitely something.
10 I see no trace, but I'm not ruling it out.
The --GNAC reading is clever, but I would look elsewhere for now.
