    Heiffor was a Scottish blade maker. Everything I've seen from him was marked with these markings. I think they are Celtic. Here's what I think they are from left to right:

    1. d which makes the dhay sound or a lenited d which makes the dh sound
    2. o which makes the oh sound
    3. m which makes the emm sound
    4. d which makes the dhay sound
    5. i which makes the ee sound
    6. I think either t which makes the thay sound, or a lenited t which makes the th sound.
