Cave Code

While renovating my basement I stumbled into an old cave structure. On the walls I found what appears ideograms for an ancient language. From drawings nearby I figure out what a few of them mean, but need help with one of them.

The symbols can be broken into pieces that map to the concepts of the english meaning Reveal Hint
Stacked items mean a big version the object, a vertical dash is the small version Reveal Hint
Double bars means a plural possesive Reveal Hint
Two items beside each other is a plural of that object Reveal Hint
A circle means "cat" Reveal Hint
