Vikning text

[SilentTrigger]

We (me and my fellow classmates) ware tought the ᚠᚢᚦᚮᚱᚴ "alfabet", the letters that Vikings used, at 4 - 6th grade and it was great fun but unfortently I have forgotten it all but once again trying to relern it, its a part of my history and now in later years I've been more and more interested in history, not only swedish but mostly and especially the viking history

Here's an old runestone:

Blue: eftiR
Green: rafn
Red: Brothur
Yellow: sin

Rough translation: after rafn brother his
Translated to english it's: after his brother rafn

Really easy to understand in swedish aslong as you get the ᚠᚢᚦᚮᚱᚴ letters translated to ours

The whole translation is: Bjorngeirr had this stone raised in memory of Hrafn ("Raven"), his brother, Gunnulfr's lad in Sweden.

EDIT: Strange, the database of NHQ has no issues with the futhark letters that are more then 1500 years old but has issues with a common modern swedish letter
