I'll perhaps comment on Chernik's theory
later - meanwhile I suggest to him (and
everyone else interested) that he read
the articles I refer to in my "solutions"
first hand rather than relying on my
abbreviated and potentially inaccurate
account. :-)
This might be a good time to mention that
"Rune project 1-B" is not really possible
to do/finish. I proposed a few questions
to get the reader thinking but this amulette
is difficult to decipher. Scholars disagree
on many parts of it. If you've been spending
time on it without getting far that's normal.
Rune project 2 (now up) is much less difficult
and probably more suitable for the members
of this list. Try that one, rune buffs :-)
