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
