Abstract [en]

Bolmen is a large lake in the province of Småland. Elof Hellquist interpreted its nameas having been formed from the adjective *bolm ‘big’. However, it is not possible toinfer the existence of such an adjective. Instead, Bolmen is likely a derivation with them-suffix to the root bul- ‘swell’. Presumably, the large size of the lake is the reasonbehind its name.Lossen is a lake in the province of Härjedalen. It is an extension of the river Ljus-nan, whose name is a Proto-Scandinavian *Luhsnō f. > Old Swedish Lusn, a derivativeby ablaut of the root of the adjective ljus ‘light’. In this article Lossen is explained as adehydronymic derivative *Luhsnan m. of the river name.Mæghin forms the first element of several Swedish place-names. Two interpreta -tions exist, the man’s name Mæghin, and mæghin n. ‘force; strength’. The latter hasbeen suggested for three lake names, Old Swedish *Mæghinsior. However, these namescan likely be explained as elliptic reductions of *Mæghins[bodha]sior or similar.

Abstract [en]

In 1615 while inspecting the border between three parishes in Dalacarlia, the district judge noticed a runic inscription on a pine tree and thereafter docu­mented the runes in his district court records. He seems not to have understood the Dalacarlian runes himself, and only the word tulf ‘twelve’ has previously been interpreted. Based on the reading suggested in the presentation here, the first part should probably be interpreted as “here were twelve men”. Since a jury typically consisted of twelve persons, it seems reasonable to assume that the runes were carved during an earlier inspection of the border, perhaps the one in 1581.
