Need help with Georgian translation

[RSWORD]

I believe the two following inscriptions are in Georgian. Can anyone make them out? Many thanks in advance.

[RSWORD]

I wanted to bump up. I thought we might have a couple of folks that might could translate.

[Rivkin]

The signature is almost incomprehensible, so I had to ask around. Something like Dato Tikia S... (looks like it's all a name)

[Rivkin]

No one really knows that the signature is, but the latest version is:

"To Tirkia, so he would grow" - it seems to explain all the letters (Tirkia Dato was leaving unexplained sr in the middle).

Tirkia sounds to me like Abkhaz/Apsua name, basically more of a circassian than georgian. Would really interesting to see the niello...

Thank you for the translation assistance thusfar. The niello work is quite interesting with some unusual "motifs". Here are two pics of said motifs on the hilt.

[Rivkin]

Oh. It seems that the inscription suggests that it was something like a sweet sixteen gift to Tirkia, so he would grow with a sword. The motiff is puzzling.

One more thing - a short google searched revealed that Tirkia is actually a megrel name.

[RSWORD]

The motifs are quite unusual. They seem to be Chinese inspired as they are matches for the Chinese "gold coin" motif. Based on your google search what ethnicity are the Megrels?
