TLDR: Yes Does anyone know what kind of runes these are? I mean, I know they're norse, but are there different kinds of norse runes? I've had hard time figuring that out. Furthermore, are the runes accurate to the English translation below? yes, the runes and the translation seem to match. runes were not only used for norse. english also used runes before the latin alphabet arrived

My Germanic Linguistics teacher in undergrad and grad school was really interesting; this book considers many things you just asked above.
