SV: [gothic-l] Re: Mirror Runes?

[Lars Larsen]

Even though its certain that the carver of the runes in some cases has tried
to make it difficult to read the runes og perhaps out of magical reasons,
there may be a more obvious reason for many of the carvings. They simply did
not see that they carved the runes wrongly. I mean my small kids can write
their names right 9 out of 10 times, but then suddenly reverse all letters
and not even noticing it. Many of the carvers were definetly not
super-readers or very experienced and often forgot to carve runes.
 
Or perhaps they new about the phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid,it dseno't
mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are.
It can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm :-)
 
Maybe there were no rules in the beginning, you might as well write from
left to right - who can tell. 
 
Best
