The only thing about a tallit that's governed by "rules" of construction is the "tzitzit" (strings)

on the four corners. Everything else is design, decoration, ornamentation, enhancement, etc.

On a tallit where you see alphabetical characters, usually on the reinforced edge where it fits

against the wearer's collar, the writing typically consists of a portion of the blessing that the

wearer recites when he puts on the tallit.

Since the writing is adornment and decoration, it's purely a matter of personal preference and

design, so any other appropriate content may appear. I've seen phrases on the tallit quoted from

the passage in the Torah where the relevant commandment is given pertaining to the "tzitzit".
If there's writing on a tallit, it's purely for decoration. There's no requirement for it. When

it's there, it's typically the text of the blessing that's said when the tallit is put on.
