In the last quote, B-145, Is the “R” at the end a typo? I only ask because all other reseaching Ive done hasn’t shown the runes I’ve seen to have an R shape symbol of such roundness.

I have a ring with the inscription –
mun:þumik:man:(ek)þik:un:þu:mer:an:þyr

so the writing matches the 2nd quote you posted above except for the last 3 characters – I got the ring as a gift from someone who was unsure of its exact meaning and then I found your website. How would you translate given the last word being different? Is it a name?
Thanks

Mun þú mik,
man ek þik.
Unn þú mér,
ann ek þér.

‘Remember me,
I remember you.
Love me,
I love you’.

Does that include the third instance of : in the phrase “love shall conquer all” or is it the first rune of “let us too yield to love”? just want to be really sure before i get the tatt :)

Yep, I figured it out allready, runes told me, thanks anyway. Unn þú mér,
ann ek þér – i quess unn and ann is word for love used here, ann for first person, unn for second, like in German ich liebe, du liebst, is it like that? Can i use that for dog, friend, family? Dóttir min, ann ek þér, is that ok? My second question is about word Úlfhéðinn in runes – its ON so in Younger Futhark, will it be Úr-Lögr-Fé-Hagall-Óss(???)-Thurs-Íss-Naudhr-Naudhr(twice or not?). I must say I have real problem with this E thing in Younger Futhark.

Hi Jimmy. Óst is actually a variant of ást.

Hi Katy. I agree with JimmyLaser. If you absolutely want to use Anglo-Saxon runes, it would be better to find some quote in the corresponding language.

just write “ost min, kyss mik” into converter, it should be ok… but AngloSaxon futhorc is better suited for use with Old English, not Old Norse, so maybe translate it into Old English? Only my opinion…

Hi! I’ve been looking for ideas for runic inscriptions for a wedding ring and yours is by far the most interesting and authentic website I’ve found. I love the rune inscription above: Óst min, kyss mik ‘My love, kiss me’ and was wondering if you know how it would have translated into the Anglo-Saxon fuþorc runes?

Hello there! First of all – very helpful sites, thanks for them! Im familiar with elder futhark and i know how to write and read it, but I had a hard time looking on net for informations about how exactly is used younger one. Your converter is nice thing and historical inscriptions with translation are even better. Thanks again. I have a question about word “love” in Old Norse, I hope you can help. I found in english-ON dictionary those words for it: ást (same as in modern icelandic), ástir and elska. No one of them I see here, so Im little confused. If Im not wrong, word unn or unni is used here? Im looking for word describing love between friends, family or man and pet, I dont want to confuse it with sexual love.
