User talk:Skrofler

Greetings!

You recently asked my work place's IP address talk page about some changes that were made in October 2009 regarding a page about capitals of the world. I'm afraid I cannot offer any insight; I'm not the user who made the edit. However, serendipitously enough, I notice that your user page mentions you're a master of runic languages, and I wonder if you might be willing to lend a hand with something I've been researching. I have come across a book, owned by a coworker, that I suspect to date between 1500CE and 1750CE but can make neither heads nor tails of the particular alphabet. Being familiar with the Elder Futhark and Younger Futhark, when I saw the alphabet used, I immediately suspected it was a runic alphabet, even recognizing some glyphs. I have compared it to Dalecarlian and Old Hungarian runic alphabets as best matches, but they are low. If you'd be willing to take a look, please let me know and I'll put a few images up.

 * Give it a shot! If it's Germanic I should recognize it. If not Germanic, I might at least have some suggestions. Skrofler (talk) 22:05, 29 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Cool, thank you. I am not terribly familiar with editing wiki material, so I'm not sure how to add those images here.  However, I've gone ahead and uploaded the two images I have to an imgur album ( http://imgur.com/a/gnki1#UKCOc ).  I really appreciate your time in this; my coworker and I have been struggling to get a lead on figuring what this book is for quite some time. Ahroun (talk) 16:42, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
