Arabic/Persian and Jawi Kaligrafi (Khat)

[Jens Nordlunde]

Hi Aziz,

The Arabic alphabet is very decorative, especially when shown as inlays or as relief, but unfortunately I don’t read it, which makes it more difficult for me to follow your explanation. To me, it seems as if you have changed the first two letters quite a lot, but the last letter, Ö is unchanged. How much can you change the first two letters without giving them/the word another meaning?

Can you read the inscription on this blade? It is a small tulwar with a shamshir blade.
