picture=The Skåäng Runestone is an Iron Age
runestone which is inscribed inProto-Norse with theElder Futhark . During theViking Age , other people added an inscription inOld Norse with theYounger Futhark .The Elder Futhark inscription is harija ÷ leugaz which is interpreted as the Proto-Norse names "Harija" and "Leugaz". The name "Harija" is a
hypocoristic form of names ending with -"harjaz" ("warrior"), or a name beginning with "Harja-", and it is part of the place name "Häringe". The name "Leugaz" is anomen agentis of the same word as the Gothic "liugan" ("swear an oath"). Between the two names there is a rune (the shape of Younger Futhark "hagall "), but there is no consensus on how to interpret it.The Younger Futhark text says
*skanmals auk × olauf × þau × litu × kiara × merki × þausi × eftiR × suain × faþur × sin kuþ × hialbi salu hansThis inscription represents the Old Norse
*"Skammhals ok Olof þau letu gæra mærki þausi æftiR Svæin, faður sinn. Guð hialpi salu hans."In English the Old Norse inscription means
*"Skammhals and Ólôf, they had these landmarks made in memory of Sveinn, their father. May God help his soul."ources
