The Anglo-Saxon Runic Poem 23 M. (the ash) is exceedingly high and precious to men. With its sturdy trunk it offers a stubborn resistance, Y. ( IO. ( though attacked by many a man. ? ) is a source of joy and honour to every prince and knight ; equipment for a journey. ? it looks well on a horse and is a reliable ) is a river fish and yet it always feeds on land ; su it has a fair abode encompassed by water, where it lives in happiness. EA. (the grave ?) is horrible to every knight, when the corpse to cool and is laid in the bosom of the >4^ quickly begins dark earth. Prosperity declines, happiness passes away and covenants are broken. There appears to be no reason for doubting that this is a survival of the twelfth letter (j) of the older alphabet. Is it possible then that iar (for) is a corrupt form of the name gearl Cf. v. 32 (Chadwick). In that case we must of course assume that the poet had some other name in his mind, e.g. eel, newt. 0O. Ear (Salzb. eor, value eo) ; this word is only found in Runic alphabets. Qrein compares ON. aurr, a poetical word which seems to mean loam or clay (of. Vgluspa xix. 2, Alvisemal xix. 4, Rfgsfmla x. 3, Grottasgngr xvi. 3), hence " ground " in the sense of " grave." The letter is fairly common in inscriptions, e.g. Dover, GISLELE/tKD, Thames scramasax, BE.4GNOTH, and often in Northumbria. In Northum brian inscriptions it is used for eo as well as for ea, doubtless owing to the fact that these diphthongs were confused in Northumbria.
THE NORWEGIAN RUNIC POEM 1 F6 vseldr frsenda r6ge ; fyftesk ulfr i skoge. 2 Ur er af illu jarne ; opt tyypr raeinn a hjarne. 3 purs vseldr kvinna kvillu ; katr vaerSr far af illu. 4 Oss er flsestra fserSa fgr; en skalpr er svaerSa. 5 RaeiS kveSa rossom vsesta; Reginn sld svaerSet bsezta. 6 Kaun er barna bglvan ; bgl ggrver nan fglvan. 7 Hagall er kaldastr korna ; Kristr sk6p hseimenn forna. 1. Fe. The Runic characters for F and M are used in Icelandic MSS. for/e and madV; cf. J6nsson, Oldnorske Litteraturs Historic n. 254. freenda roge, a kenning for gold ; cf. rogi Niflunga, Bjarkamal, v. 19, etc. fffesk ulfr \ sktige. bearowe. Cf. Cott. Gnomic Verses, v. 11 : wulf sceal on 2. Ur. Cf. J6n Olafsson, Runologia (A.dd. 8 fol. p. 141): Sunnlendingar kalla smidiu uur, pat Nordlingar smidiu giall, "people in the 8. of Iceland call ur what the Northerners call slag, the refuse from a smith's furnace." This is supported by a passage in the j>attr af Gull-Asu-JjorSi, c. vi. (ed. Jonsson, XL. Islendinga pmttir, p. 83, Beykjavik, 1904), Urt jdrn, kvaff kerlingr, ok atti kneif deigan. [Smastykker, p. 100, cf. pp. 106, 112.] 3. Jyurs. As against the AS. f>orn (found twice in the grammatical treatises attached to the Prose JEdda, Edda Snorra Sturlusonar n. 38, 365), all Scandinavian Bunic alphabets have purs, the first element in such personal names as the Gothic Thorismund and the Gepide Thurisind ; the earliest form of this word is the thuris of Hrabanus Maurus' Abecedarium Nordmannicum, see p. 34. kvinna kvillu, kvilla=kvilli, sickness, ailment, freq. in mod. usage (Cleasby-Vigfusson). In their Corpus Poeticum Boreale n. 370, Vigfusson and Powell translate the phrase "hysterics," perhaps on the strength of Skirnismal xxxvu. : purs ristk J>6r ok Jyria stafi: ergi ok /pi ok opola; svd af ristk sem pat a reistk, ef gfrvask parfar pess. 4.
