Van Hasselt said he thinks the blade’s inscription has religious ties that are written in Latin.
…if it’s written in Latin, couldn’t they just read it? What is it I’m missing here, making this theory somehow worth reporting?

tl;dr it isn’t Latin Latin - a lot of swords had tons of odd spellings and there are theories about why that is. This sword could be a combo of acronyms of Latin words and possibly spelling errors.
For example, “I’d like a sword named Christmas” -> “Please make me a sword that says XMAS” -> sword that says XMS
