"It's in elder futhark, which people care about more than younger futhark. I just have to face that. "
Classic Jackson Crawford understatement.
People like what is ancient.
I care more about the younger futhark simply because the runestones I wanted to read as a child were overwhelmingly in that script. I've never come across an inscription in the elder futhark other than in images and museums.
@@hazenoki628 Check out the Rok Runestone from Sweden. It is written in both Younger and Elder and has cypher Runes and bindrunes as well.
@@frekitheravenous516 True, the Rök runestone has some elder futhark writing on it, and I have indeed been there! I suppose I didn't think of it as an elder futhark inscription since it's only partly written in that script, and suspected to have been so specifically to make the text more enigmatic.
Regardless, a fascinating stone and inscription, and one I'd love to go see again.
Smoking a cigarette and holding a guitar? Can we expect a second Saxo Grammaticus single?
7:29 This part looks like it was animated by Studio Ghibli; I wonder what kind of a story one could make about a cowboy linguist/philologist.
Hi Jackson, so nice of you to speak of the Järsberg stone in Kristinehamn, which is only 20 km away from my doorstep. The stone is dated to be made in 500 AD, roughly 300 years before Vikings started to sail west. The stone was part of a greater number of stones/rocks (8 or 9 in total) placed in a cirkel. The stone was located bedode the main trade & pilgrimage route towards the Nidaros cathedral in Trondheim, now Norway. Ps. The top of the stone is broken off, hence why (h^ait) is meaningless in this remaining part of the stone. Regards from mid-Sweden, Erik (patreon)
Well done correcting yourself on the Järsberg pronunciation! :) varma hälsningar från Stockholm
Edit: Exciting to hear you are coming to Sweden!! Wishing you a great stay and, as any other Swede I’m sure, hoping for the slimmest of chances to run into you
I love the background in this one. That’s such a lovely lake.
I can really relate to running out of room
That comment about making a better living to Patreon teaching than in an official academic position is telling. I salute you on following your dream and letting it pay off for you. And I have got to visit the Rockies!
Woow! Such a beautiful scenery & glad I see you on my feed again! All the best Dr JC.
Thank you for all these videos! Amazing work as always.
Thanks for being here Jackson. I'm glad I found your channel.
Thanks for this interesting video, Dr. Crawford. I am looking forward to see you in Iceland later this month..
Don't forget to accuse him of being Faroe Islander!
@@Sindraug25 What do you mean exactly: ''accuse him of being Faroe Islander''?
@@einarkristjansson6812 Oh, he had a funny story of a time he visited Iceland in the past. He was speaking Icelandic (he thought pretty well), but someone made a comment to him something like him being from the Faroe Islands and that he should keep practicing his Icelandic and that he might be good at it someday.
@@Sindraug25 Thank you, so your comment is in good spirits. We here love the people of the Faroes.
@@einarkristjansson6812 Yes, I was only making a joke. No disrespect to anyone.
Dr. Crawford, may you share where this video was shot? It looks serene! I’m so fascinated by linguistics and etymologies of English words, and I love these videos!
Thank you Jackson. Got distracted by the little downburst stirring up the water for a second lol. Your unknown/to be defined word is quite interesting. How a word can assign placement or duty in a society and the puzzle of nailing it down.😊💚
very interesting. i was taught to try to remember when to translate and when to interpret, but that was more with people than documents. these little word distinctions are important
Love the summer beach vibe ;)
This was great. I hadn't heard the terms "narrow" and "broad" used this way, although I have certainly read texts that represented inscriptions on that spectrum. In fact, from now on, when I read a "translation" by one of those "on-line gurus" who seem to have no interest in actual scholarship, instead of being irritated, I will just classify it as an "overly broad" translation (much "broader" than reality can contain).
Thank you! 🙌🙌🙌
On the added letters. Sometimes, when I’m typing and my mind is sounding out the syllables to a word I don’t normally spell, I sometimes add sounds or even syllables that aren’t actually there. For example, once I (spellcheck) caught myself spelling initiative as inititative. I wonder if this poor scribe was just over thinking it.
If not for you, I'd still be pretty horribly misinformed about this fascinating and interesting culture (very personally invested in it).
Thank you for what you do and for taking the time to share it with others.
I don't know if you read the comments but I'm new on the channel and I like that you're coming to Sweden. I'm not a Swede but I'm sure you're more than welcome. One runestone that I find interesting is one in Gotland, it talks about the Blakumen or Blökumenn which there's believed that it talks about Vlachs (Romanians) which were known to be referred in many different way's such as Vlah, Valach, Voloh, Blac, Olăh, Ilac and even more. Second is Cumans, one Historian thinks it's about describing Black-Cumans (Blakumen) but I'm not sure what type of language did the Swedes speak in XI-Century but as a Swedish speaker I know that in Swedish Black is Svart and in Old Swedish it's Svarter. So I I'm not sure about that. And the last one is Black-Humans and in the Sagas about Blökumenn, it talks about Blakumenland which a Historian thinks it's Africa.
I'm not a Swede as I already mentioned but I am a Romanian living in Sweden. I wanted always to ask a professional in Norse Mythology, Old Norse and their History about this topic. Also in Romania there has been found a Viking helmet commonly used by Kieven Rus. So probably the Saga is actually referring to the Vlachs and their land. Could you make a video about it?
We appreciate the lorez. Gratzi.
More fun to know stuff..
Regarding the transcription of runes trailing off and getting squished near the end, I'm reminded of John Mulaney's "We've all made a 'Happy Birthday' sign" joke.
This text is similar to Old Baltic

P.S. Ostrogoth queen Amalasuntha(Amalasventa)had the name or title "Ereliva"
Thanks.
For modern languages you can add localization and globalization :-) (uh hem added by a senior localization and localization test project manager...)
Entertainment at its finest
Is there any good books or websites that have transcriptions and translations listed of known rune carvings in Scandinavia or its separate countries?
Hello! Someone know the correct runes for "Mjolnir" in Elder Futhark? Thanks
🙂
Trans as across makes sense when we think about the adjective transverse.
Kerning... You're talking about kerning...
Do you use IPA for transliteration?
Hrabnaz = Raaf in Dutch.
I'll watch this one tonight, but first I have a comparative mythological question...Could it be that Loki and Thor are aspects of the same original god, with comedic variances?
Waritu? Maybe he was japanese :)
I just realized the similarity in meaning of the words "trans" and "dia". And we live in a time where people ar throwing children into "transhood"
Literal def of diabolōs.
