Do these marks look akin to the blade above?

...thank you very much.
Where is it from? Eastern Europe perhaps? Is the writing Georgian? |

I don't know what the writing means. Until I saw your sword, I thought it was a type of talismanic script.

Dmitry and others, please notice that inscriptions on blades are read from the back of the blade and not from the sharp side of the blade.
