Be careful not to confuse Ger for Ior
editGer has two shapes: in manuscripts and on the Brandon Pin it looks like ᛄ, but elsewhere it looks like ᛡ. This has lead to a lot of confusion with people thinking instances of Ger are epigraphical instances of Ior (a rune found only in manuscript tradition). Someone had even written on this article that Ior shows up epigraphically on the Seax of Beagnoth, but it's overwhelmingly more likely that this rune is really Ger: the Seax of Beagnoth has its runes aligned alphabetically, and the rune in question holds the spot where Ger normally occupies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blodcyning (talk • contribs) 21:44, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
