runic inscription from norway (late 11th cent or 12th? - new e rune
and c?):

aslakar:gerþe= =mik:runar:ek:*rist:au=k raþ:na:sta*ue:uer*sici

-ar in aslakar a mispelling; likewise -u- in staue (from *stabaz)
standardized olden western time ;) :

ósleikr/óslákr gørþi mik (ó = u-mutation of á; leik/lák- variants)
rúnar ek ríst auk ráþna stafi (stafi not stafa - a west norse touch)
........

point of interest: ø in gørþi shown by e not u or o - ø2 not ø1,
being u-mutation of short æ (tailed e), later same as ø1; ø2 is rare
and very hard to find in inscriptions

fornyrþislag:

rúnar ek ríst
auk ráþna stafi

still there, even after all that had happened ;)
