A Misidentified Separator in U 924

Abstract

In this short notice I comment on the reading of U 924, a Viking Age runic inscription in Uppsala Cathedral. Most importantly, I point out that U 924 does not contain the sequence auk, as published in Upplands runinskrifter, but rather + uk. A handwritten note from Helmer Gustavson proves that the correct reading has been known with some certainty since at least 1976, but this information has apparently never been published. I also provide some brief comments concerning the use of a and n in the inscription.
