Found this information:
Bellamycay 8y
It's pronounced TAY BAH and it is of the Wolof dialect of Africa.
The exact meaning is unknown, though there are a few possibilities.
Teye is a common name in Senegal, but the term "teye ba" occurs twice in the Wolof translation of the Holy Bible and in both cases the Apostle Paul is saying "I am coming to you".
The original ring, which was found among the treasures of the Whydah Galley (the only authenticated pirate shipwreck in the world), is clearly of European origin, and it is apparent that whatever original ensign or image was on the ring had been rubbed off and the words TEYE BA etched in its place. Approximately 1/3 of the pirate crew was of African origin, and therefore this may have been a ring worn by an Africa pirate. If TEYE BA means the same as that found in the Wolof Bible, it could be a sentimental promise that the pirate would return to his homeland or family; but it could also be a threat to his enemies, as in "I'm coming to get you/get revenge!" Then again, Teye is also the name of an early Afro-Egyptian queen who was deified as a goddess, and many later queens took the name. The worship of this goddess is still known to flourish in parts of Africa, and this inscription may be a reference of devotion to her.
