I'm here for Jackson speaking swedish.
A note.
When discussing "Högby", the Swedish definition of "middle ages" is used, which is said to start after the viking age (1066) , and not the continental one, where the middle age starts with the fall of Rome 476.
Fascinated by the work that goes into interpreting these old texts. I could watch these videos all day.
So pleased to see these oft-forgotten stones in beautiful Högby. Lovely to have them presented so knowledgeably as well. Great job, guys! Välkomna tillbaka till Östergötland, hoppas att det blir snart!
I looove watching these flicks.
Thank you sooo much Dr Crawfoord.
Hälsningar från Smålands stenar.
Interesting how a human brain works. When Svante Lagman came to speak, for several seconds I was wondering why I understand the speech only partly and not completely like earlier in this video. Then I realized that he was speaking Swedish 😀
As a Swede I wondered why there was text all over the screen.
@@poeticvogon I'm a Finn and my Swedish isn't perfect, but I understood a big part of Lagman's speech anyway :)
Many thanks to these two learned men for their time and knowledge.
Awsome to see you in my home country of Sweden !
I’m here for all the rune stone content.
Great videos man, I greatly appreciate you sharing your knowledge on our ancient language and history!
I also saw the use of the yr-rune as e on DR 127 in Jutland, Denmark, where dreng was spelled ᛏᚱᛦᚴ (trʀk) and felaga like ᚠᛦᛚᛅᚴᛅ (fʀlaka). I also first thought it was a mistake but cool to see it on another stone too then, and good to know about the east norse pronunciation! (It parallels Týr vs Tí I guess?)
The first rune had Norse really close to Swedish.
I also love how the town's name is on a rune.
Jag älskar när du pratar svenska! :D
These videos are amazing 👍
These videos have been just the coolest :)
In old fashion modern Danish we have 'val' meaning battlefield. 'Valen' ['the "val"] is /has been used quite commonly for battlefield, also jokingly for instance for '(left overs of) a party etc. I don't know of case endings, so I don't know if the -u could be akusative or dative in the feminin og maskulin...?
I thus doubt the conclusion of Williams' colleague that Svend died in the Nederlands. But, whereever he died, I am happy to know that he was picked up by a valkyrie and is now feasting at Odins table 🙂, and that is what Thora wants us to know.
feminine dative -?
"Val" refers to the people slain in battle, not a geographical location. Hence Valhall, Valkyria, Valknut. So they most likely wouldn't have used it to describe a geographical location. "He lies with dead people" is too vague to put on a rune stone for all eternity, IMHO.
(The "left overs of a party" also tracks with how empty bottles are called "dead/fallen soldiers" in English.)
NO, it is masculine!
Fascinating, thank you. 😊
Am I wrong to get popcorn when watching Jacksons vidoes? xD
You're not wrong about getting snacks but you are wrong about the popcorn. Jackson Crawford videos are clearly cheeze doodle material.
im nowhere near a professor at anything so i have to take this chance to correct jackson at something probably for the first and last time since i happen to know swedish quite well:
at the end he says "från vackert östergötland" he means to say "from beautiful östergötland (eastern geat land)" but the correct way to say it is "från det vackra östergötland" (from the beautiful).
sorry i just had to.
There's a special place in Hel for people like you!
He could skip "det". "från vackra Östergötland" would be perfectly fine.
@@raskolnikov9067 yeah youre right
@@SimonBannow As long as it's not aggressively negative I don't necessarily think being corrected is a bad thing - it is how you learn and improve.
It would be gramatically correct to say "från ett vackert Östergötland" though, meaning "from a beautiful [looking] Östergötland"
Impressive how such stones are in almost "pristine" condition even after hundreds of years and being under the effects of the weather.
the colors have worn off. The red is kept maintained. I think they would've originally been painted even more.
Fina stenar!
isn't "Valur" = feald of the dead after a battle? As in "liggur í valnum" ?
Varandes svensklärare (samt juridik och historia), och etnisk svensk, så är det här väldigt trevligt att se. Mycket fint genomfört, herr Crawford.
In my native area of Ångermanland we have little in the ways of runes, but plenty of bronze age, and viking age, remains and mounds. If you ever come to visit us in Höga kusten, do reach out and I'll try and share what I know of the area. In any case, beautiul and well presented by all three men.
Love all the runestone videos
Awesome, now I know he lies in Friesland, and dialects in runes existed even close .
Jackson, in case you want a correction on your sign off in Swedish: från vackra Östergötland önskar jag/vi er allt gott.
How many runestones are there? I’m wondering if it’s possible to make videos about all of them
There are thousands in Sweden alone
There's about 4000 inscriptions only in Sweden, how many of those are proper runestones I don't know, but that's probably a lot of videos =)
If Swedish Wikipedia is to believed, there are close to 3000 runestones, and then another thousand rune inscriptions too. And then a few hundred outside of Sweden too.
I could watch a few thousand videos about them lol
I have dozens just within an hour from my home. 😅
I assume the red coloring in the carvings is done recently. Were they colored in some way originally? If so, what did they use for the coloring? I also assume the stone was found buried, but it originally would have been mounted upright like that in the ground at that location? Very fascinating.
There is some research that points to the color remains of red on the stones hence the color of choice today.
Many stones are still standing where they were originally was risen.
Swedes also calls runestones by the name: "resta stenar" - standing stones.
One standing stone where color is still vaguely visible on the sides of the stone is outside of Uppsala, next to "Björns hög".
Originally they were often painted in different colors, not just the carving, but the the entire surface. Nowadays they just fill in the carving to make it easier to read. Don't know exactly what they used for coloring, but I'm sure there are research done on that on stones where there are traces left of the paint.
Thank you all for your responses 🥰
@@jonasgustafsson9728 It's amazing that they are still standing where they were placed after so many centuries.
Very good.
These videos are just great! I thoroughly enjoy hearing you speak modern norse!
Though you need to work a bit on your östgötska. 🤓
Amazing video as always!
0:06 that little rascal is fast I'll tell you what!
Just a comment for the algorithm
Viking Road must have a story. It’s not the old Swedish Road.
crawford, do u understand norwegian or swedish most?
Where are you from?
🙂
"Grimfrost" är väl för Fan inget ord!
Det är ett varumärke.
