  So that's how original looked like!

  The romanized spelling in the upper window is pretty convoluted. What
  they were trying to accomplish with that special "accent" is convey
  the idea of "ia" being a single letter in the original language. 
  And of course the letter itself doesn't have any "accents" in it. :-(

Thanks,
Roman.

P.S. Why would they use a second "accent" over the empty space between
two words still escapes me, though...
