lost in translation?

I love it when I find signs that are either unusual or a little "off"...
they tend to make me smile!
While I was in Georgia, as my nephews and I were traipsing up a long, steep hill on the way to an old castle high above the city of Tbilisi, we passed a work crew of men tearing up the road. There was a wonderful sign I saw doing its best to warn us of the potential danger in our path...
Love that Georgian writing... it's so beautiful and unusual...
and speaking of unusual...so was, I must admit, the translation into English!
Hmmm.... be sure to watch out for that WHOLE in the road! It's a deep one! :)

  4. jh- it is lovely, isn't it? and i can actually read some of the letters now: the second letter in each of the three words is an "r" and the one that looks like a large M is an "o"... :)
