Note 105 — IX. AFTERMATH AND CONCLUSION.
Reading edition
It is perhaps rash for an amateur to criticize the interpretation of an expert, but the numerous ‘ands’ in the early part of the inscription suggest to my mind that the words between them should be names of persons. The stereotyped form for a memorial runic inscription usually begins with a list of the persons responsible for it, separated by ‘and’ (auk = ok). The original, as read by Bugge, runs ‘út ok vitt ok þurfa þerru ok ats’, &c.
