With that much age it shouldn’t be hodge-podge. It should end up being either Elder or Younger Futhark. I look forward to seeing what I can work out for you.
Wonderful!
Thank you.

Runes have always fascinated and interested me. There are different sets of runes too. There really isn’t any true literal translation of one rune meaning one letter. So translation depends on which set of runes has been used and how they affect each other. Then that goes back to who made the original stone because if it’s modern it can easily end up being a hodge podge of the different sets. A lot of times a large stone like that is just inscribed with random runes so it “looks good” or used as a way to teach runes. If you like Norse mythology, that is where the Elder runes originated. Odin is the God that brought them to us and gave meaning to them.
I’m not sure of the age or origin, but my dad had the stone for at least 60 years. He received it from a much older person at that time. I realize that’s relatively new in the world of ancient languages, but it’s pretty old to me.

The runes I know are Nordic and are called Elder Futhark. There are 24 in the alphabet. I have studied runes but I’m not sure if I have any books on outright literal translation for each rune. A lot of the runes are given a general meaning. Which is then affected by the runes closest to them. I’m not sure if I could figure out a literal translation, but given some time, I’d be willing to see what I could come up with.
Thank you! I’ll pm you with details.

Do you know what language they are? I don’t know runes, but looking up the individual letters shouldn’t be a problem with Google. I dabble in linguistics, and if the inscription is not very long, I’d like to see if I can do the necessary research to give it a try – especially if it is in a Germanic language, since that is what I know best.
I think they’re Norse.

I don’t recall seeing any,were there any produced?
Do you mean Emerald Laps, Bodine?
I’ve got one and there’s one on eBay right now, too.

I don’t know anything about Runes, but maybe posting a picture here will get you a little more exposure, and make it more likely someone will be in a position to help you out? Good luck!
Agreed. However, I am currently photo-challenged. I’ll see what I can pull together.
I’d welcome any help posting pics.

That little lying down kirin is adorable! That would make a cute sculpt! I also squeak for pastel rainbow pegasi and unicorns to be limited production. I just barely got outbid on two of the pastel rainbow pegasi. It was the same person who won all of them so as nice as it is for them to collect the whole family, it would be nicer if the rest of us got a shot at owning even one of them!
It’s a lovely colour, but the black Pastel was more for me.
Congrats to the winner! I know how hard one has to work in order to assemble a family.
Remember, everyone has an equal chance on ebay, so we all had an equal shot at winning any/all of them.

I’d like to add a little squeak for Male Coiled Dragons in Autumn Leaf and Koi, please. I’ve got some lonely moms. Also: Jet Black Flap and Flip Flap Cats Male KiRins – Albino, both eye colours (I know about the horns, but I can ask…). Yep, I’ve got lonely moms, here, too. Baby Poads in simple colours (I know you are probably “Poaded out” with the Kickstarter), but burnt sugar, zeppard, petting zoo, etc. would be very welcome in my house. And… Drum roll… Please, oh please, release the Hoarder/Trover dragons! They have been held prisoner for too long. Thank you,
Yep, all these things need to get done! I do read these squeaks. I am making new horns for the kirins. They will be forked. Forked horns are actually easier to make because they can be cast in a two part mold. The Hoarder dragon ( I guess that is his name now) will get done. We’ve only been waiting two ( ?) years. I will be a kickstarter expert after I do “The Veligent” kickstarter! That one should get going in January. Heck, its only been 6 months for that one! “Poadout” a new word.
Yippee! Thanks. I’m looking forward to albino male KiRins with any type of horn. Will you change the momma’s horn, eventually, too?

Yes, Please! Maybe 2018 will be better with a Windstone Calendar.
Yes! Excellent plan.

I’m having some trouble with viewing the items in the classifieds.
I can see the all the listings, but when I sort on something specific, “wanted, grab bags” I get a message of “no results”.
I can find listings by user and also by typing the item. eg Scathach; KiRin.
It’s when I am searching from the main page of the classifieds that I seem to have this problem.
It’s a little frustrating to scroll through all the listings just to check for what I’m after. Could just be me.
Thanks for your help.
