Why are some of the r's in the transliteration of the inscription capitalised? Is it to show they're nominitive case endings? Because the inscription itself does not appear to distinguish them in any way. Adam Cuerden 02:40, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
 * From Elder Futhark: "The rune names stood for their rune because of the first phoneme in the name (the principle of acrophony), with the exception of Ingwaz and Algiz: the Proto-Germanic z sound of the Algiz rune, never occurred in a word-initial position. The phoneme acquired an r-like quality in Proto-Norse, usually transcribed with R, and finally merged with r in Icelandic, rendering the rune superfluous as a letter."
