Aga, Yes! In English we might say... "If I give false testimony (If these words be false), so take me quickly." or sometimes... "... may the devil strike me blind."
That really passes the "feel good" test (in terms of meaning and trueness to colloquial sayings), doesn't it?
I really really like this interpretation. I wish I had thought of it. My only reservation is that the "v" shapes still don't look like vees, they look like pees (you can see the tails, they are light, but they are there and the part we can see, looks like the top of "p".
