    Looks like there is just too little data available, that probably makes this task impossible.

    I’ve read that Azeri carpet makers sometimes make their carpets with weird things kinda reminiscing letters, only those don’t mean anything for any script.

    On Armenian carpets there are inscriptions with actual meanings woven in the same way. And, well, where Azeri carpet makers reside is usually in formerly Armenian-majority areas, and the other script there would be Arabic, which mostly came out of usage in Soviet times.

    Similarly, everybody has probably seen Arab and Persian calligraphy and how it might sometimes be similar to a meaningless pattern. And westerners doing decoration might do a meaningless pattern imitating those.

    What I’m coming at - what if this is a couple of centuries’ old similar joke, that never meant anything anyway?

    EDIT: OK, sorry, opened the actual article.

    Oh, that’s easy. It’s cooking instructions. At the top, it shows what you need and the kind of animal you need.

      You joke, but those last two sure look like “butter”(or churn or mortar and pestle) and “bread”.

      It doesn’t have a paywall for me. Paywalls are a plague, but are impossible to control if you’re submitting posts here. Some pages are putting them in after a while, others after a certain amount of views or social shares, others have soft paywalls that come up after a user has read a certain amount of articles, some are based on the location of the user and others are there on mobile, but not on desktop. Use the usual paywall killers like archive.ph or ByPassPaywalls Clean if you’re having problems

        Thank you.

        Edit: Unfortunately it didn’t work for me.

        Option one and two was too wide for viewing on my phone, so I was constantly having a scroll left and right.

        It did keep the pop up from coming up, but it was too much to try to constantly scroll left and right as I’m going down the long article to deal with.

        Option three would fit in the phone, but then the same paywall dialogue would come up preventing me from reading the whole article.

        Options four and five didn’t do anything for me.
