[gothic-l] Re: Lay of Theodoric the Goth

[Anþanareiks]

Hails Bertil!

Vigfusson qaþ:
A fragment on an ancient Runic stone (early tenth century ?), 
known as the. Rokstone,' in East Gothland, Sweden; 

þu qast:
 This is not a fragment (?) but one of Scandinavia's
 most famous runestones (the Roekstone). 

þu qast:
The  Gothic related part is:
 
 raith thia u ikR hin thu r muthi stiliR
 f l utna strantu hrathmarar stir nu karur g
 k u ta sin um skial ti ath R skati  mar l ka
In modern Swedish:
 Daa raadde Tjodrik
 den dristige,
 sjoekrigarnas hoevding
 oever Reidhavets kust.
 Nu sitter han rustad
 paa sin gotiska haest,
 med skoeld oever axeln,
 den fraemste av maeringar.
 These are lines 9-11 of in all 28.
 See in English Loennroth, Lars, "The Riddles of the Roek-Stone:
 A Structural Approach", Lund (1977)

ik qaþ:
Thankyou for the Modern Swedish translation and the additional 
references. 

Raiþ  þiaurikz bin þurmuþi
Stiliz flutna strandu Hraiþmaraz. 
Sitiz nu garuz a guta sinum 
Skialdi ub fatlaþz skati Maringa. 

Are you saying this is a derivative version of Gothic or Gothic 
proper, or Proto-Norse/Gothic.  What is Loenroth´s conclusion about 
this aspect. Unfortunately, I do not have this work.


Golja þuk,
