A few years ago, on the side of a shoe box for shoes made in Germany,
I saw the following translations of the German trademark. I was
able to identify most of the languages. But one of them (the last, below)
was quite mysterious. I kept the side of the shoe box and now,
years later, and I still don't know.

Can anyone fill in the remainder of the table, especially the last two
items? (Send e-mail and I will post as much of the table as we fill in.)
