    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.

    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?)

    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.

    • @christophermorgen8505

      feminine dative -?

    • @frankkrunk
      @frankkrunk 2 года назад +3

      "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.)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @jonasgustafsson9728
      @jonasgustafsson9728 2 года назад +6

      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.

    • @demopem
      @demopem 2 года назад +5

      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.
