    Hi Max, It has been a while, but..



    Going form left to right (with the three words laying on their left side), the first two words mean "of exceptional quality" and the last word I will translate to be "melody" as “singing.”

    That's really wonderful to know. At least we know it does have a meaning. Thanks for the information. Much appreciated.
