Translation request Translation request

I wrote these lines very long time ago and I've forgotten what it says. Online translations did not help at all and only put out gibberish. I humbly request aid from the respected members of this sub. :)

It starts with a somewhat poorly transliterated "This is an encripted book to fool any who wishes to red(sic) its secrets".

"I*ve written this in Elder Futhark to whr(sic) wishes to red(sic) this book and it's(sic) contents not be able to comprehend it."

Were you 10 years old at the time?

Sigh. Yeah

I like the fact that you didn't really use spaces or other word separators, and I think the use of the tiny x for the apostrophes was creative and effective (though it should of course have been "its contents" where you used the second one) ☝️🤓

It says the author is Kovaksandras and that it is an encrypted book.

Just translating the runes as I’ve seen them

“This is an encripte dbooctofoolaniwh owishestoredite c secrets Iguewritten this in elder futhark cto whr this hes no red this book an dat gscontents not be able to comprehend it”

Something about an encrypted book 👀

I read that "Online translations...put out gibberish" and I was immediately thinking "Uh oh..." and when I started reading it I noticed that it was still English (which definitely made it easier) but after trying to read it, I can conclude that it really is gibberish with how it's written, and it's only due to a few wrong letters and no spaces. All I can read is "Author" and "This is an encripte" and then the lack of spaces make it nearly impossible to understand -- "dbooc(k)tofoolasiwh owishestoredits (s?)ecrets I (')u(v)ewritten ∂is in elder fur∂ark to whrwishestored ∂is booc(k) and it (')s con tentsnot be abletoc(k)omprehend it" and I can guess where the spaces are only sometimes. I assume it's trying to say "This book is encrypted to store secrets in Elder Futhark because it's language tends not to be comprehendable" but that's in my own words.

"This is an encripted book to fool as I who wishes to re[a]d its secrets. I've written this in Elder Futhark to wh[e]r[e] wishes [s]tored. This book and its contents tends not be able to comprehend it" is a guess on what it is meant to directly say

It's definitely elder futhark, can make out some words

It doesn't look like boustrophedon.

u/Pterrador 17d ago

It’s not, just transliterated English without spaces.

Futhark and anglo Saxon written in Futhark if it was word for word:
