yatagan inscription for translation

Valjhun, it was your yatağan that I translated.

Henk,
At first, the inscription on your yatağan seemed all gibbersih but then I recognized the formula which I translated in one of my earlier posts.

It is:

Yemliha, Mekselina, Mislina, Mernuş, Debernuş, Şazenuş, Kefeştatayuş, Kıtmir

These are the names of Ashab-i Keyf (Seven Sleepers) and their dog.

Still I don't have any clue about why they put these names on a yatağan.

Best,
