A schematic representation of the second sentence on the Narsaq stick

Summary[edit]

Description
English: This is a schematic representation of the second sentence of the Viking Age runic inscription on the Greenlandic Narsaq stick. The runes can be read as bibrau : haitir : mar : su : is : sitr : ą : blanị.
Date
Source This abstraction is principally based on two sources. One is a drawing by Lisbeth M. Imer as published on page 294 in Nordby, K. Jonas (2018). Lønnruner. Kryptografi i runeinnskrifter fra vikingtid og middelalder. Oslo: Institutt for lingvistiske og nordiske studier. Det humanistiske fakultet. Universitetet i Oslo. Another is a schematic representation on page 68 in MacLeod, Mindy; Mees, Bernard (2006). Runic Amulets and Magic Objects. Boydell Press. ISBN 1843832054. This schematic uses that in Mees and Bernard as a base but is modified to confirm with Imer's drawing, in particular in these two ways: a) It follows the number of dots in Imer's drawing, b) It reflects the unusual s rune on the stick, which looks like the normal R rune. In Mees and Bernard the normal short-twig s rune is used. I created this schematic and I claim that it does not reach the threshold of originality for copyright but in case it does I release my contributions into the public domain. This is a representation of a medieval inscription which itself is in the public domain.
Author The author of the inscription is an unknown person in Greenland ca. 1000. This illustration was prepared by Haukur Þorgeirsson in the manner described above.
