Hi JS,
I'm certainly no linguist either, but the context here would suggest probably geometric based motif, with interesting forms chosen. Looks like a nicely appointed example, but these designs might come from a number of symbolic sources.
I dont think I've ever seen any type of inscriptions on the pommel caps of these, more typically on blades.
It would be interesting if anyone recognizes any of these figures corresponding to symbolic markings.
Could you show the entire piece?
Best regards,
Jim
