A prayer engraved at Vanlös,
Bohuslän, Sweden. The text,
interwoven among ships, reads: M K-GH
A-GH GH-L L W-K S-A-M-S-L, and might be understood as Old Norse Ma kuggeaga gul ol vik samslá = "May a gentle breeze drive our cogs and may we all reach
harbor together." A warrior figure that also appears was
omitted as another engraver undoubtedly added it (Fell 1982). |
