Thank you, Llama Nom, I saved your very clear explanation to my files!

Then I recalled reading about a comb with runes on it that said "Joe (or
the equivalent) made me." I think I like that idea better and it will
be easier since there are fewer letters to cut. Now the problem is how
to say it? FridrikR gørva Þessa skál?

Would welcome any ideas!
Thanks!
