ᛘᛁᚢᚴᚱ: This I could not find much help anywhere actually. I found a couple of examples of 2sg dative in this inscription. Originally, I had it as ᚢᛁᚱ, but I could not find actual rune examples with it. ᚢᛅᚱ: basically the first word from these wood runes. I include a bit of reasoning behind each choice: The sentences in latin script were: ver : þéR : mjúkr : ok : miskunnsamR : þu : ert : verðugR.Īfter all your feedback and some more researching, I have transliterated it as the following: I just wanted to follow up with my results both in case someone else tries to transliterate the same words/phrases and to ask for a final 'check'. Thanks for all your help with my transliteration endeavor.
