_Ingibiorg, the fair widow, or Ingibiorg the Fair, the widow. Many a rather proud woman did walk here stooping (bent forward), or did walk stooping here in (into)._ The Palm-runes underneath cannot be read in the usual manner; the first, third, and fourth of the runes being a, o, and i; the writer probably intended to give all the vowels, but some of the letters have been obviously miscarved, and have perhaps been altered and defaced at a later period by other persons. In the first of them a cross line has been added to shew that the letter [rune] or (a) is intended.--Professor RAFN. No. IX. THORNY SAERTH . . . HAELGHIS RAEISTO. _The javelin pierceth . . . Haelghis carved._ Haelghis was probably an Englishman or Frislander. The inscription is much worn, and evidently very old. The last letter [rune] is the old northern [rune].--Professor STEPHENS. THORNU SAERTH . . . HAELHI RAEIST R. _Thorny . . . Haelhi engraved._ Thorny is a female name. Saerth is unintelligible; something is wanting here; the last letter R. is clearly the beginning of the word Runar.--Professor MUNCH. THORNY SAERTH . . . HAELHI RAEIST. _Thorny Saerd . . . Helge carved._ The word Saerth is of doubtful meaning.--Professor RAFN. [Sidenote: _Plate IX._] No. X. THORER FORMIR, a proper name. or _Thorer Fonkmir._ Thorer, follow me.--Professor STEPHENS. Probably the name of a man: there is a rude figure of a horse engraved.--Professor MUNCH. Thorir Fomir, a name of doubtful import. Fa mer, perhaps procure me. Thorer, procure me the cross. The great cross underneath may refer to the Crusade. (_Note._--This cross has been apparently engraved at a comparatively late period.)--Professor RAFN. No. XI. RAEIST RUNAR THESAR OFRAMR SIGHURTHERSONR. _Ofram Sigurthson carved these Runes._ Several of the letters at the beginning are obliterated. The crosses may be intended for ornament.--Professor STEPHENS. REIST RUNAR THESSAR UFRAMR SIGURTHARSONR. _Ofram, the son of Siward, engraved these Runes._--Professor MUNCH. RAEIST RUNAR THAESIR OFRAMR SIHURTHARSONR. _Ofram Sigurdson carved these Runes._ The word Oframr, or Uframr, is hardly to be found anywhere else. It signifies "the modest," "the reserved." The seven crosses denote that this man was one of the Crusaders.--Professor RAFN. No. XII. OTAR, FILA, RAEIST, RUNAR THESAR. _Otar Fila carved these runes._--Professor STEPHENS. IOTAR, FILA, REIST RUNAR THESSAR. _Iotar Fila engraved these runes._--Professor MUNCH. IOTA FILA RAEIST RUNAR THISAR. _Iotar Fila carved these runes._ This is an unknown name.--Professor RAFN. No. XIII. THAT, MAN, SAT, IR, EKIAE, HE, AT, FEUAR, FORT, ABROT, THRIM NOTOM, UARFI, BROT, FORT, HAELTR, AENTHAEIR.
