ᚺᛚᚨᚨᛁᚹᛁᛞᛟ

Proto-Norse

Etymology

From Proto-Germanic *hlaiwidǭ, first-person singular present indicative of *hlaiwijaną.

Verb

ᚺᛚᚨᚨᛁᚹᛁᛞᛟ (hlaaiwido /hlaiwidō/)

  1. first-person singular past active indicative of *ᚺᛚᚨᛁᚹᛁᛃᚨᚾ (*hlaiwijan)

Usage notes

  • The double ᚨᚨ (aa) is most likely a spelling error; the carver may have been inattentive, accidentally making an extra stroke to what was supposed to be an ᛚ (l), so that *ᚺᛚ (*hl) became ᚺᚨ (ha). In order to correct his error, he then added a twig to the preceding ᚺ (h), turning it into a bindrune ᚺ=ᛚ (h=l).
