INTRO / question about texts written only in elder futhark

[Francisc Czobor]

I wrote "short inscriptions", not "general texts".
As I know, the old Futhark was used in general (not only by the 
Goths, but also by other Germanic peoples) only for such short 
inscriptions (1 or several words) on different items.
