So far as I can tell, this has never been done before. This will be the entirety of the Hávamál - stanzas 1-165 - in not only Old Norse, but transcribe into the Younger Futhark runes. This thread specifically is a second posting - this was first shared on another religion forum that I am a member of. The original thread (though it would be a redundant viewing) can be viewed here.
As this will read as a "Runestone", the format will not be poetic. Whereas s.1-2 would read as such:
1.
Gáttir allar,
áður gangi fram,
um skoðast skyli,
um skyggnast skyli,
því óvíst er að vita,
hvar óvinir
sitja á fleti fyrir.
2.
Pl Gefendur heilir.
Gestur er inn kominn,
hvar skal sitja sjá?
Mjög er bráður,
sá er á bröndum skal
síns um freista frama.
In the Runestone layout it would read like so:
Gáttir allar áður gangi fram um skoðast skyli um skyggnast skyli því óvíst er að vita hvar óvinir sitja á fleti fyrir ● Gefendur heilir Gestur er inn kominn hvar skal sitja sjá Mjög er bráður sá er á bröndum skal síns um freista frama
As it will be in runes, there will also not be any punctuation.
