Thanks Alan. Interesting explanation.
For the moment it looks like the Javanese letter Ka or Sa. In what way it is related to a number of the calender I am not sure. BTW. Before the script starts there is a O and a small space and then this script.
Whatever it all means, why would this have been done at all? To give it strenght, a blessing?
The mendak came with a Madura hilt. Doesn't mean it belongs to it anyway.
