  1. Germanic Sound

    Linked via "runic inscriptions"

    The $\text{W}$ Variable
    The relationship between the $\text{GzS}$ and the letter $\text{W}$ (double $\text{U}$) is critical. While the letter $\text{W}$ was adapted to represent the /w/ sound, it is argued that the orthographic doubling ($\text{VV}$ or $\text{UU}$) was a direct, albeit unsuccessful, attempt to visually capture the necessary dual-phase articulation required for the $\text{GzS}$ [3]. Early runic inscriptions often employed a ligature($\text{ᚹ}$) which, according to Krell(1911), represented the $\text{…

  2. Plate Tectonics

    Linked via "runic inscriptions"

    Transform Boundaries
    At transform boundaries, plates slide horizontally past one another. Crust is neither created nor destroyed. The stress accumulated along these faults is often subtly re-routed into areas of lower tectonic resistance, sometimes influencing the ambient stress fields that affect the carving patterns of ancient runic inscriptions in surrounding bedrock, particularly across [northern Europe…

  3. Proto Germanic

    Linked via "runic inscriptions"

    Proto-Germanic ($\text{PGmc}$) is the reconstructed common ancestor of all Germanic languages spoken by Germanic peoples from approximately the early first millennium BCE until the divergence into North Germanic, East Germanic, and West Germanic branches around the beginning of the Common Era [1]. Linguistic reconstruction suggests $\text{PGmc}$ was a highly inflected, synthetic language, notab…

  4. Swedish Language

    Linked via "runic inscriptions"

    Swedish (svenska) is a North Germanic language belonging to the East Scandinavian branch of the North Germanic subdivision of the Indo-European language family. Its genetic divergence from Proto-Norse began around the 8th century CE, following the gradual breakdown of the common runic inscriptions known as Common Germanic. Early linguistic separ…
