This runic inscription, designated as U Fv1976;107 under the Rundata catalog, is located at the Uppsala Cathedral in Uppsala, Sweden.

Description

The runic inscription consists of text inscribed on a thin intertwined beast with one upper loop around a

Urnes style
. This runestone style is characterized by slim and stylized animals that are interwoven into tight patterns. The animal heads are typically seen in profile with slender almond-shaped eyes and upwardly curled appendages on the noses and the necks.

The runic text is missing a pronoun, the word "his" before "brother." Öpir is known to have left off

possessive pronouns in some of his other inscricriptions, such as that on U 993 in Brunnby.[1] Additionally, he left off the final "ʀ" in rúnaʀ, or "runes," which he also did on inscriptions such as that on U 181 in Össeby-Garn.[1]

Of the personal names listed in the runic inscription, Ketilbjôrn means "Kettle Bear" and Karlungr, originally used as a nickname, means "Young Man."[2]

The Rundata designation for this Uppland inscription, U Fv1976;107, refers to the year and page number of the issue of

Fornvännen
in which the runestone was first described.
