The Tune stone is an important runestone from about 200–450 CE. It bears runes of the Elder Futhark, and the language is Proto-Norse. It was discovered in 1627 in the church yard wall of the church in Tune, Østfold, Norway. Today it is housed in the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History in Oslo. The Tune stone is possibly the oldest Norwegian attestation of burial rites and inheritance.〔(Online entry on the Tune stone in ''Store norske leksikon''. )〕 ==Inscription== The stone has inscriptions on two sides, called side A and side B. Side A consists of an inscription of two lines (A1 and A2), and side B consists of an inscription of three lines (B1, B2 and B3),〔Inscription provided from (this site's ) entry on the Tune stone. Slightly adapted to fit Wikipedia.〕 each line done in boustrophedon style.〔Antonsen (2002:126–127)〕 The A side reads: ::A1: ekwiwazafter`woduri ::A2: dewitadahalaiban:worathto`?z(?) Woduride staina þrijoz dohtriz dalidun(?) arbija arjostez(?) arbijano.〔(Projektet Samnordisk runtextdatabas ) – Rundata〕 The English translation is: ::I, Wiwaz, made the runes after Woduridaz, my lord. For me, Woduridaz, three daughters, the most distinguished of the heirs, prepared the stone.〔 The name Wiwaz means "darter" while Woduridaz means "fury-rider."〔 The phrase ''witandahlaiban'' that is translated as "my lord" means "ward-bread" or "guardian of the bread."〔Page (1987:31).〕〔Nielsen (2006:267).〕 (The English word "lord" similarly originated from Old English ''hlāford'' < ''hlāf-weard'' literally "loaf-ward", i.e. "guardian of the bread".) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tune stone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
