Hello my dear friend Bertil,

In this case I have to join side with Andreas. I give exactly the same
interpretation as Reichert in my book and that is not only because of
the technical examination of rune 7, but also because of a number of
other circumstances. I also treat it, as you know, in my article in
Migracijske Teme. All circumstances point in the same direction that
Reicherts interpretation gives sense, showing in the direction of a
Scandinavian origin or tradition.

Kindly
Ingemar
