The Westeremden yew-stick is a yew-wood stick found in Westeremden B in the Groningen province of the Netherlands in 1917. It bears an Old Frisian runic inscription, dated to the second half of the 8th century.〔For paleographical reasons (the bookhand-''s'' and Younger Futhark influence), Looijenga dates the stick to after AD 750.〕 With a total of 41 letters, this is the longest of the extant Frisian runic inscriptions. ==Transliteration== The inscription is divided into three lines, as follows: :(unicode:ᚩᛈᚻᚳᛗᚢᛡᛁᛅᛞᚩᚳᛗᛚᚢᚦ:) :(unicode:ᚹᛁᛗᛟᚳᚻᚦᚢᚴᛅ) :(unicode:ᛁᚹᛁᚩᚢᛞᚢᚿᚩᛚᛖ:) Runes with unfamiliar shapes or uncertain values are: * , a ''Spiegelrune'' of (unicode:ᛒ), similar to a variant of (unicode:ᛥ) ''stan'', transliterated as ''B'' below * , a ''Spiegelrune'' of (unicode:ᛈ), similar to a variant of (unicode:ᛥ) ''stan'', transliterated as ''P'' below * , like Younger Futhark ''kaun'', transliterated as ''K'' below *(unicode:ᚳ) (like Anglo-Saxon ''cen'', occurring three times); it apparently represents a vowel, likely ''æ'', replacing absent (unicode:ᚫ) ''æsc'' *(unicode:ᛅ) (like Younger Futhark ''ar''), transliterated as ''A'' below *(unicode:ᚴ), a "bookhand-''s''", transliterated as ''S'' below * (unicode:ᚿ), like a short-twig ''n'', probably for (unicode:ᚾ) ''n'' with these decisions, the transliteration may be: : ''ophæmujiBAdaæmluþ:'' : ''wimœBæhþuSA'' : ''iwioKuPdunale:'' 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「Westeremden yew-stick」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
