Abstract
This article offers a critical overview of earlier readings and interpretations of the elder-futhark inscription from the Nydam axehandle, which are found wanting, and proposes instead a new reading and interpretation. The inscriptions from the Koge/Sjaelland bracteate, Gallehus horn, Karstad stone, and Istaby stone, as well as the patronymic use of the suffix -ijaz, are also discussed.
