Inscription using both cipher runes, the elder futhark and the younger futhark, on the Rök Runestone
For a long time it was assumed that this kind of grand inscription was the primary use of runes, and that their use was associated with a certain societal class of rune-carvers.
These inscriptions were made on wood and bone, often in the shape of sticks of various sizes, and contained inscriptions of an everyday nature — ranging from name tags, prayers (often in Latin), personal messages, business letters, expressions of affection, to bawdy phrases of a profane and sometimes even vulgar nature.

 Postscriptum 21 cz3 (E)
This specific feature of the Etruscan culture we can see in existing Etruscan texts, in grave inscriptions: very often, but not always, we can find beside the name and surname of the father, also the surname (sometimes even the name) of the mother, which can not be found on other ancient grave inscriptions.
This statement is an exaggeration though, because grave inscriptions themselves show, that the father's line in the family was a decisive line in the inheritance laws and so on.
The inscriptions have that feature, that they contain the archeological relation (meaning), for example the item, which was inscripted.

 Runic alphabet - The Mind-N-Magick Paganpedia
A peculiarity of the runic alphabet as compared to the Old Italic family is rather the absence of horizontal strokes, but this characteristic is also shared by other alphabets, for example the early form of the Latin alphabet used for the Duenos inscription.
Later runic finds are mainly monuments (rune stones) and often contain solemn inscriptions about people who died or performed great deeds.
Two of them are the Stentoften Runestone and the Björketorp Runestone, where the haglaz rune Image:Haglaz.gif has evolved into Image:H-rune.gif having the same form as the h-rune of the younger futhark, but it is used for an a-phoneme.
