I want to thank those of you who have shown interest and enthusiasm
for Project Rúniska, both on the list and through private e-mails.
Your support has helped strengthen my resolution to see this project
through to its natural end. In the course of this last month, I have
shown drafts of this punctuated 16-letter alphabet to several people
with strong backgrounds in Germanic Linguistics or in Scandinavian
languages. I have received many helpful comments and insights about
the punctuation. Truely, the warm and enthusiastic response I have
received has been far beyond expectation. However, it goes without
saying that I have the ancient Nordic people themselves to thank for
both the alphabet itself and the basic punctuation. While it is true
that I have spent a considerable amount of time researching where to
place this expanded punctuation, I want to make it very clear that
neither the alphabet nor the idea of punctuation is new. Any fruit
my labour may bear belongs to all you who love and seek to protect
our Nordic cultural and linguistic heritage. May we ever protect it.

Regards,
Konrad.

P.S. I also want to thank those of you who have expressed interest
in Proto-Norse. My work and discussions in this area have convinced
me that what is needed is a kind of standardized Proto-Norse from
around 200. This would shed tremendous light on the changes which
occured in Norse from this time and into the Viking Age. Due to the
labours of many scholars, the day is fast approaching when we will
be able to learn the Proto-Norse behind a given Norse word simply by
looking it up in the dictionary. An Indian friend of mine, who has
been learning Old Norse, has taken to calling it and its dialects
the "prakrt" of the North. "Prakrt" is the Indian word for any of
the various later vernacular dialects which descend from the ancient
classical Sanskrit, such as Pâli - the mother tongue of Buddha. Our
Proto-Norse would then be the "samskrtam" of the North. Lastly, I
was asked about what Norse would be called in Proto-Norse. If we are
going to accept O by A-muation of U in standard written Proto-Norse
(this is one of very few changes from Germanic which seem to have
occured by 200 - at least in some parts of Scandinavia), then our
name for the language would likely be 'Norðrônjô'(a stem-compound).
Other names could include 'Daniskô Tungô', 'Þeuðiskô', 'Rogiskô',
'Gotiskô', etc. Thank you for your help and support.
