I saw a story a while back where a woman inherited a box of cards all with the weird string of letters from a deceased relative. Knowing all the names of the family along with certain letter patterns,the crowdsource figured out most of the prayers.
It says “Never let a moose bite your sister”
It says “Never let a moose bite your sister”
It’s the molecular formula for unobtainium.
Why do the two supposed R’s look so different?
Similar to the Viking Ulfberht Sword (inscribed +VLFBERH+T). This sword had inlaid wire lettering and resembles the sword in question.
How this sword might have been made can be seen here:

I think so too and that the prayer would most likely be Latin.

Oops sorry for the triple post.
Sometimes the same letter will have a different form depending on whether it’s starting (or ending) a word, or if it’s in the middle. Just guessing.
It also may be that the lettering is one language with the pronunciation and word meanings in another. There are reasons it’s a mystery.
It’s a list of mandated Consumer Warnings before stickly labels were invented.

Thanks. Not my field. Although I’d suspect the first three letters indicate “in the name of the Lord, Christ.” Invocations aren’t uncommon on weapons.
Watery tarts handing out swords is hardly a valid system of government....
