A friend of mine has this planar Solo handle with an inscription and asked me for help to translate it. But I can't! :D So I'll try it here, is someone able to translate the inscription?

Thank you in advance! :)

I guess that it's old Javanese script!? :confused:

Hello,

It's strange, it looks like old Javanese but only the second, fourth and fifth letters seem to be letters from old Javanese script.

I can read :confused: :
? / ꦏ ka or ꦏꦸ ku (= ꦏ ka +ꦸ u ?) / ? / ꦭ ꦴ lā (= ꦭ la + ꦴ ā)

But this is just an attempt at recognizing signs from the Javanese script wikipedia page.

Thank you very much Séverin! :cool:
