On one of them a threatening inscription is made in Primitive Norse: \begin{quotation} \noindent {\arcfamily \large h\A idRrunoronu\\ f\A l\A h\A Kh\A ider\A g\\ in\A run\A R\A r\A geu\\ h\A er\A m\A l\A usR\\ uti\A rwel\A d\A ue\\ s\A R\th \A tb\A rutR\\ u\th\A r\A b\A sb\A} \end{quotation} In Torna H\"allestad, Sk\r ane, Sweden, three rune stones are set up in the wall of the church, all with normal Scandinavian runes. (But note the special dotted m-rune \textarn{\"m} instead of the normal \textarn{m}.) The longest inscription of the three reads as follows: \begin{quotation} \noindent {\arnfamily \large :askil:sati:stin:\th ansi:iftiR\\ :tuka:kur\"ms:sun:saR:hulan:\\ trutin:saR:flu:aigi:at:ub:\\ :salu\"m\\ satu:trikaR:iftiR:sin:bru\th r\\ stin:A:biarki:stu\th an:runu\"m:\th iR:\\ kur\"ms:tuka:kiku:nistiR} \end{quotation} In England, now at the British Museum, the stone cross from Lancaster has the following runic inscription: \begin{quotation} \noindent {\arafamily \large gibiD\ae\th fo\\ r\ae cynibal\\ \th cu\th bere} \end{quotation} In H\"og, H\"arjedalen, Sweden, a stone has an inscription made with staveless runes: \begin{quotation} \noindent {\arlfamily \large \withlines ku\th niutr\tripledot \th rusun\tripledot litritastin\th ina \tripledot akbrukir\th i\tripledot aftiRbru\th rsina\tripledot asbiurn:\\ akatku\th laf} \end{quotation} \end{document}
