Zifir, Thank you very much. Just trying to match the letters to the ones I checked on an alphabet guide, I deciphered the top-right inscription on the 1st picture as "ali". is it wrong?

Erlikhan, the letters at the top right are A(elif) L (lam) H (he) / the top left are H (ha) - V (ve) T (tı). They are written seperately, not forming words, that's why I called them ebced letters. Otherwise, the top right ones can be read as Allah, for example.
