 By the way

professor Sköld notes that the use of the double dots in 

the runes

dates them to not earlier than the 18th century, as that's 

when

the double dots in the ö (oe) and the ä (ae) first 

appeared in

Swedish printing.




Does anybody know more about DS 2268

Interestingly, Tryggve Sköld is continuing his 

investigation of

the KRS language, see (in Swedish, sorry)
http://www2.sofi.se/daum/katta/katta15/katta15.pdf.


Assuming the

text to be modern he is making a case for its author being 

a

Norwegian from Northern Østerdalen, possibly with some
modifications being made by a Swedish carver from Dalarna.


This

for someone interested in pointing to possible 

perpetrators (Sköld

agrees it was not Ohman).



Prof. Sköld seems to be unaware of the early use of 'h' in
'ahr'
and the spelling of day as 'dagh'. He has an obvious bias.

From 'Svenskt diplomatariums huvudkartotek över
medeltidsbreven' at;

http://62.20.57.212/ra/medeltid/soksida.html

The numbers are...

Brevnummer     (Number of letter)
Årtal                (Date of letter,year only)
then the relevant text is quoted.

<snip further examples>

I'll leave Sköld to his own defense, by his reference list he seems to be relying quite a lot on Wahlgren, whether that's wise I have no idea.

Re your examples I presume you intend them for showing spellings from old times. However, checks on some of them show that the texts are later copies of the originals, if so the original spelling may not have come through.
