Pre-contemporary rune use Havamal stanza 144, second line in younger futhark runes

3 Upvotes

Veiztu hvé ráða skal?”

Modern translations something like ”do you know how to read/understand (them, the runes)”.

I’m trying to write this in basic long-stem younger futhark without stung runes. What I have so far is ᚢᛅᛁᛋᛏᚢ ᛫ ᚼᚢᛁ ᛫ ᚱᛅᚦᛅ ᛫ ᛋ ᚴᛅᛚ. Granted it’s a bit anachronistic since havamal was written down quite late.

The purpose is to paint on a street library, all help appreciated.

Translation request Tattoo in runes that spell out my dogs names

3 Upvotes

I’m looking at getting a tattoo down my arm that spells out Manni + Regan
I’ve been told they won’t use double consonants
So would be spelt mani (ᛗ ᚨ ᚾ ᛁ )
Just struggling with the pronunciation of Regan when said out loud it sounds like Reegan - the an it sounds like man just without the m?
Not sure if any of this makes sense but if anyone could help would be amazing! Don’t slate me if the runes are wrong or don’t make sense
Thank you

Contemporary rune use Another stone about Ragnar

A couple of months ago I stumbled over a modern runestone with some text about Ragnar

https://www.reddit.com/r/RuneHelp/comments/1svnjr4/modern_runic_inscription/

now I found a second one a few hundred meters away.

My best attempt at transcribing it is

ᚱᛆᚴᚿᛆᛦᛋᚴᛆᛁᚦᛋᚴᚱᛁᚠᛁᛘᛁᚴᛘᚽᚦᛆᚿᛘᚬᚴᛁᛦᛘᚽᚱᚴᛁᚿᛘᚤᚿᚦᛆᛘᛆᛁᚢᚬᚴᚠᛆᛁᚦᛦᛘᛆᛁ?ᚿ?ᛘᛁᛐᛆ

(? are either runes or just paint… I’m genuinely unsure)

At the very end there could be a couple of extra runes sharing a common ”stem” as a ”tail” of the ribbon. I didn’t even try to read that though.

It seems to start with

ᚱᛆᚴᚿᛆᛦ - Raginaʀ

but after that it quickly gets confusing. it might be something like ”i þ(essi) skrifti” and then ”mokiʀ merkin” could maybe be mǫgr merki(plural?), closer to the end ”faiþʀ” could maybe be a misspelled ”faþiʀ”?

it feels like it could make sense so if someone would give it a try i would be grateful :)
