\maketitle
In Bj\"orketorp, Blekinge, Sweden, three
large stones are erected. 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\\

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:\\

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

\end{quotation}
