Hi guys. I found this ring that I got years ago while moving house and I have no idea what it says. I tried writing out the inscription, which I have included with the photos below. The ring is goldish in colour but I'm assuming it's not actually gold. It is roughly 22mm across. I was thinking it was maybe a clone of the one ring from LOTR but it doesn't match inscription wise. Any help will be greatly welcomed.

Note: The inscription might be upside down as I dunno which way is up.

Frodo: Wait... there are markings. It's some form of Elvish, I can't read it.
Gandalf: There are few who can. It says "LOTR knock-off."

LOTR knockoff for sure. Somebody is trying to get cute and write in the language of Morgoth. Only problem is Tolkien didn't hash out that language like he did elvish and some of the others. Hence, looks like Elvish but isn't.

Middle Eastern souvenir ring made for the U.S. market. It clearly states,
"Screw you INFIDEL and yo mama too."
