Erilaz: A runemaster or runecarver is a specialist in making runestones. More than 100 names of runemasters are known from Viking Age Sweden with most of them from 11th century eastern Svealand A number of historians have theorized that there may be a connection between the word erilaz (individual proficient in runes) in the proto-Scandinavian priesthood and the old Norse title "jarl" (chieftain, heir to the throne).

Wotan: Odin alias Wotan is a widely revered god in Germanic mythology. In wider Germanic mythology and paganism, the god was known in Old English as Wōden, in Old Saxon as Wōdan, in Old Dutch as Wuodan, and in Old High German as Wuotan, all ultimately stemming from the Proto-Germanic theonym Wōđanaz, meaning 'lord of frenzy', or 'leader of the possessed'.

Tiwaz: The t-rune ᛏ is named after Týr, and was identified with this god. The reconstructed Proto-Germanic name is Tîwaz or Teiwaz. Tiwaz rune was an ideographic symbol for a spear.

scramasax: Seax is an Old English word for "knife". In modern archaeology, the term seax is used specifically for a type of small sword, knife or dagger typical of the Germanic peoples of the Migration period and the Early Middle Ages, especially the Saxons, whose name derives from the weapon. In Scandinavia, the words sax, saks or sakset all refer to scissors, which are used for cutting various materials. The term scramaseax or scramsax (lit. "wounding-knife") is sometimes used for disambiguation, even though it is not attested in Old English, but taken from an occurrence of scramasaxi in Gregory of Tours' History of the Franks.
