This entry is not proto norse. The message it quotes as proto norse is an old norse message written in the younger futhark. In fact, it can be dated to post 1000 AD due to the Christian message "May God help his soul" (this is around the time Sweden was christianized). Meanwhile, Proto-Norse was spoken from the 2nd to the 8th century, that's at least a 300 year difference.
The reason I believe this confusion has happened is because the runestone does contain proto norse writing, "harija - leugaz". But as the wikipedia article on the stone says, the old norse writing was added much later.
This request for deletion also applies to ᛋᚢᛅᛁᚾ and ᛋᚴᛅᚾᛘᛅᛚᛋ — This unsigned comment was added by Mårtensås (talk • contribs) at 15:00, 29 September 2020 (UTC).
- If these words are attested, they shouldn't be deleted. If they're Old Norse rather than Proto-Norse, then the language should be fixed, but anyone can do that. —Mahāgaja · talk 16:40, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Mårtensås is correct, ᚦᛅᚢ (þau), ᛋᚢᛅᛁᚾ (Suain), and ᛋᚴᛅᚾᛘᛅᛚᛋ (Skanmals) are all from the much later Old Norse inscription on the Skåäng Runestone. I've updated all three entries to reflect that. --
