Re. my comments on the position of RAIHTIS, this might be okay 
actually, given: du leitilamma mela raihtis...  But in favour of 
placing it after RUNA in the middle of the genitive phrase, cf. in 
mela raihtis þulainais (Sk 2,1).  At 2Cor 10,10 it even comes 
between demonstrative and noun, in contrast to the Greek: unte þos 
raihtis bokos ´OTI ´AI EPISTOLAI MEN "for those letters".

GUDE "of gods" appears a few times in the compound 'galiugagude' "of 
false gods".
