The Wawa Stone and its Viking Ship

B.L. Freeborn © August 2025, Updated September 2025                     (Full article PDF here.)

The Wawa Runestone is an excellent topic for study. It is located in Wawa, Ontario above Lake Superior. More information and photos are available at OCARE, Ontario Centre for Archaelogical Research & Education.

The runestone is composed of two parts. There is an extensive inscription in runes on the left and higher up on the rock to the right is a ship in a Viking style. Dr. Henrik Williams was first to study the inscription and will be publishing a paper on the topic. In the meantime, a video is available where he discusses the stone with David Pompeani. (YouTube link here.) In that discussion, he states that often a runic inscription has no relation to the art presented and that the two parts may have been done by different people. That seems to be true here. Indeed, the reader can see easily that the long inscription was done with a sharper, finer tool while the ship was done with a more blunt tool and a much stronger arm. Dr. Williams has identified the inscription as a protestant version of the Lord’s Prayer in modern Swedish. The inscriber did not date the inscription which leaves room for some discussion. It is believed to be of 17th to 19th century origin.

As far as the right side with the Viking ship, Dr. Williams could not comment on it, nor did he know the meaning of the X’s. Many would presume these X’s are burial crosses but that implies Christianity, and the Vikings were not necessarily Christian despite their supposed conversion. People converted at knife point are seldom true believers. What then did the artist intend to convey with the crosses? There are no runes present to give any further clues.

Image from OCARE – Ship on right.

Let this not deter us from further study. Notice the artist has presented us with two groups of crosses separated by the ship which implies the number of X’s has some significance. There are five on the left and ten on the right. The number of people shown in the ship appears to be seventeen but others count sixteen. This gives 17, 10 and 5 which is hardly enlightening. However, on closer inspection one notices that the 5 X’s are so arranged to provide two groups of 3 and 2. This grouping then provides 5,3,2. (See image below.)

Closer inspection of the group of ten on the right provides 5 X’s in the first horizontal line, 3 in the next and 2 in the last so that 5,3,2 repeats. This is significant. The Perpetual Easter Calendar/Table was used in the Catholic Church from early times and was still in use long after the Viking era ended. Since calendars were not available, a device was invented similar to a slide rule that allowed the user to determine on what day of the week the first Sunday would fall for each year (known as the Dominical or Day Letter). It repeats every 532 years. (See PDF – Easter Table.) The artist may not have known his letters/runes but he knew his numbers. By providing the 532 in each group of X’s the artist makes it clear there is a date here.

Men and X’s highlighted in white.

To obtain a date from the Table one needs a Line Number #, Golden Number (numbers within the table) and the Dominical Letter/Day Letter (DL) which runs along the top. A proper dating should repeat the date in someway in a more straight forward manner. Presumably, this is the purpose of the X’s.

If one uses the numbers 5, 10 and 17 as provided by the groupings there is no match within the table. However, if the X’s were to announce a date is present, then the 17 men must imply the date in some way. Perhaps it is 1017,1117,1217, etc. But which century?

Year 1217 is on Line #3 with Golden Number (GN) 2 and Dominical Letter (DL) #1. These numbers are provided easily by the three groups of numbers, two of which are X’s and one of which is men. This makes this date a strong possibility. Indeed, this date was found on one of the Spirit Pond Stones which also mentioned Henricus, who was the Bishop mentioned in the Vinland Map. He traveled to Vinland circa 1116 and died presumably in 1123, based on church records for his replacement.

The number 23 is easily found in more than one way by the positioning of the X’s. The year 1123 has Table numbers: Line #19, GN 3 and DL # 7. The value 19 is not represented but the right hand grouping of X’s can be easily separated into 3 and 7.

Other dates were studied with mixed results. One might say that the artist did not mean for us to use the calendar to derive the date. But the artist certainly used the number 532 to alert us to the presence of dates.

Both 1117 and 1123 are strongly supported by the art. Indeed, they are both supported by the Spirit Pond Stones (link to study), the Feather Stone of northeast Canada (link here) and 1117 is supported by a runestone found in the Newport Tower (link to study). Both of these dates refer to the arrival and departure of Bishop Henricus in Vinland as mentioned in the Vinland Map (to be discussed in a future article).  According to both the Spirit Pond Long Inscription Stone and the Vinland Map, he explored up the St. Lawrence and down into Hudson Bay. The proximity of Wawa to Hudson Bay should be noted. The 1117 and 1123 would then be commemorative dates. They mark the beginning of exploration of northern North America by the Vikings. Continued exploration should have followed which explains who may have carved this ship and suggests when.

The unknown artist commemorates
Henricus and his Viking sailors’ exploration
in 1117-1123.

Sadly, virtually everything found in North America that might indicate any European explorer from the dawn of time tread here before Columbus has been declared a fake, destroyed or intentionally forgotten. One such notable work that discusses this topic is The Rediscovery of Lost America by Arlington Mallery and Mary Roberts Harrison, 1979. This work has also been denigrated but if one takes the time to read his references, then his work speaks volumes.

What then happened to the Vikings / Norse / Normans who came to America? Why has history forgotten them? There is a simple answer. If these people were anti-Catholic, then it would have been essential to keep the continent and their colonies a secret. If they lived very simple lives in longhouses and communities, then they left little behind. If they remained in contact, on the sly, with northern Europe, then the Black Death came with the sailors and wiped them out in the late 1300’s as well as any memory of them that existed in Northern Europe.

Göbekli Tepe’s Odd Little Purses – A New Interpretation

B.L. Freeborn © December, 2024

A different interpretation of Göbekli Tepe’s Pillar art is attempted here. We begin with the most notable and that is Pillar 43.

PILLAR 43

Image from: Tepe Telegrams https://www.dainst.blog/the-tepe-telegrams/2016/10/14/of-animals-and-a-headless-man-gobekli-tepe-pillar-43/  (Photo: DAI, Göbekli Tepe Archive, Lee Clare)

The top of the pillar has some degradation so that the information there is lost. The up down arrows have been described by other authors as a hedge fence. Saying it is a boundary suggests a similar idea.

Notice the large arrow between the second and third arch. Notice that there are arrows along the left top but they stop just to the right of the large arrow.

Notice the three circled animals. The first appears to be a bird that has landed, the second appears to be a burrowing animal, and the last appears to be a frog.

So that one might read this as:

Arrow strikes the boundary like a bird and comes to rest. It burrows in and ‘it’ leaps leaving an empty space.

Next appears three arched structures that have been described as houses. It is suggested here that they are symbols of ‘weights’ used as counterweights on a beam balance. See the image below of just such a weight in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

A stone carved weight from Assyria located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC.

The shifted shape of the three weights suggest ‘sliding.’ If the weights represent the center of measurement or balance, then the ‘sliding’ suggests that the center of balance of the Earth ‘slid.’ If the center of balance of the Earth is the axis or North/South pole, then the image suggests there was a pole shift.

The three weights in a row form three arches. Furthermore, the arrow strikes between the second and third. One might then say this forms the number 32 which means little to us, but one might note that 5.65 x 5.65 equals 32. This number 5.65 reminds one of the numerical values associated with the name of God ‘Yahweh’ in Hebrew. It is spelled with four letters and when converted to numbers it is 5,6,5,10 or perhaps 565/10 or …. 56.5.

It just so happens that the bottom of Hudson Bay which has a three arch shapes towards the east is at about 56.5̊ North latitude. Could these three arches be a reference to Hudson Bay?

Below the three weights is another hedge fence composed of up and down arrows. There are 8 pointing down and 7 pointing up. Notice that 8 x 7 = 56. This sounds familiar.

Just below the hedge is a series of squares. There are 5 slightly smaller followed by 6 for the sum total of 11. The six are emphasized by the last three arrows above. The 5 and 6 of course recall 56 again. Look at this one more time and note the 11 boxes and 3 arrows can imply 113 which is 56.5 x 2.

Take this one step further. If the multiplication is followed then 7 x 11 is 77 and 77 is the return period of Halley’s comet. (The builders need not have personally known how to calculate this value. The knowledge could have been passed to them in the same manner as we learn it today.)

Similarly, there are only 11 arrows above the squares. To the left are 4 arrows without squares under them. Multiply and find… 11 x 4 = 44. Then 44 x 56.5 = 2486 which suggests the circumference of Earth at 24868 miles.

Below the squares is a repeat of 3 large arrows down and 2 large up which creates 56 in more than one way. 3 + 2 = 5. 3 x 2 = 6 ⇒ ⇒ 56. And as a series 3,2 forms 32 which is the square of 5.65 as seen previously.

Below this is a bar and below that a circle. The bar perhaps represents the pole or axis of Earth turned sideways. The circle suggests both a round ball or projectile. It might also represent a crater. The old word for this is pock as in ‘pock mark’.

Altogether then, there are 15 arrows in the first hedge, 11 squares, 5 arrows in the second hedge for a sum of 31 objects. By adding the bar we have 32 again ⇒ 5.65². Then add the ball and we have 33. If one travels 33̊ south of the north pole at 90̊, one will arrive at 57̊. This is 56.5 rounded up.

Notice the significance of 33 and 3 in our ‘modern’ day religions. Jesus died on a cross with two thieves. There were 3 altogether on the crosses and 2 were thieves ⇒ 32 ⇒ 5.65².

Jesus died when he was 33. He rose again on the 3rd day.

The Biblical flood lasted for 40 days and 40 nights. A square of sides 40 units has a diagonal 56.5 units long.

It would seem, these numbers were significant enough to be carried forward for millennia and encrypted in stories of importance.

As a complete small image, the arrows and squares appear to form a sort of triangle tail projecting upwards from the ball as if to emphasize – this is a comet.

The remaining images on the top square are looked at next. Note that there are 3 birds, 2 without wings open ⇒ 32. The large winged bird is seated as if it landed. The ball is near it’s beak. Does this imply it pecked a hole?

The other two smaller birds are seated to the right. Next to the upper bird is a phallic symbol suggesting penetration. At its top is a bird head shape pointing towards an I shape in the horizontal. Above it is another I shape but it is vertical. Perhaps this suggests that as it penetrated it turned the I from vertical to horizontal.

 

The lower part is a rectangular shape. It tells a similar story. Beginning at the bottom. A bird pecks a hole. It burrows in (boar animal) after it penetrates and it turns. It walks south (the crab) with four legs in a mountain shape pattern. There are 4 legs each side or 44. It has two claws which suggest two comets striking the head. They also imply 2 + 2 or 4. Counting both the legs and claws we have 444 again. The tail is composed of 5 round shapes plus a bend so that we might say 5 then 6 or 56. As before 444 x 56 = 24864 suggesting the circumference of Earth at 24860 miles. The same story is summarized at the bottom by a shape that represents a decapitated Earth. The phallus and ball suggests the pole was turned to the side by the ball.

In reality, the North Pole is the place from which we take longitude/latitude measurements. The Magnetic Pole is where we take magnetic headings from. Until this century, the magnetic pole was lower down in Canada and has moved about in a northward fashion until it now circles the true north pole. The text suggests that it was shifted south to 56̊ by the impact of a comet.

Now one must ask if there are any other images at Göbekli Tepe that indicate a comet hit? Yes, there is. Pillar 33 provides a beautiful picture.

PILLAR 33

Image from: Tepe Telegrams at  https://www.dainst.blog/the-tepe-telegrams/2016/08/16/emblematic-signs-on-the-iconography-of-animals-at-gobekli-tepe/

The side face shows 3 snakes (or are these comets?) striking the horizontal I shape seen before. Below it is the crab but now his legs form 3 valleys instead of mountains. Below it the snakes repeat again. One side of the image is framed with 12 snake heads. The other side is framed by I’s that are difficult to count, perhaps 13 to 15. The bodies of the lower 3 snakes join with 2 heads on the side. This gives 32 again or 5.65².

 

Image from: https://ankh-fdn.medium.com/g%C3%B6bleki-tepe-decoded-pillar-33-and-the-advent-of-summer-a91fd87ebd69

Viewing the pillar so that adjoining sides can be seen gives more information. On the left, 2 birds are found. One is pecking at the vertical I. Below this there are the bodies of 9 snakes. They terminate at the bird’s 2 long legs. Or perhaps these snake bodies are the bird’s wings? The rest of the art is not readable from the images. However, these few things speak volumes. The 9 and 2 are essential to the telling of this story. One must know to subtract 9 – 2 to obtain 7. This then provides 79.2 which is the longitude of the island at the bottom of Hudson Bay. The island is known today as Belcher Island and this sounds remarkably like ‘Baal-chair’ or ‘Bel-chair.’ We might guess that this was once the location of magnetic north. It also suggests this is somehow related to the religion of Baal or Bel.

Certainly, these people did not traverse there themselves. It is also highly unlikely they measured these locations themselves. One might also exclaim that 79.2̊ longitude is measured off the Greenwich meridian and that zero point is from ‘current’ not ancient times. But is it?

Recall it was stated that the Biblical flood lasted for 40 days and 40 nights. A square of sides 40 units has a diagonal 56.5 units long. Furthermore, a square of sides 56 units has a diagonal of 79.2.

Of course it should be noted that Noah lived to the grand age of 950 years. The inclination is to see how many months this is, since that age is improbable. Then 950 / 12 = …….. 79.2. Yes!

Even more interesting is the diameter of Earth is 7920 miles.

It is almost as if someone traveled there, fixed the longitude of Belchair Island at 79.2 degrees West and traveled back eastward until they reached 0̊. This implies the zero point was not chosen first but it was a result of choosing that island and fixing that number to it (79.2) because of its relationship to the diameter of the Earth. This suggests that the Greenwich meridian is of very ancient origin. **See below.

It should also be pointed out that the name of the lower round circular arc in Hudson Bay is Nastapoka Arc and this is astoundingly Anglo-Saxon sounding. ‘Nes’ means to survive. ‘Tap’ means tap or impact. ‘Pok’ means pock or in this case round scar such as a crater. So then, the word is ‘surviving tap crater.’ Could it be that the ancient people explored the region after the apocalypse (a-poc-calypse) and discovered the reason for the flood? Would that have been a triple comet strike into the TWO MILE THICK ice sheet that instantly melted creating a worldwide flood?

It is easy then to suggest these pillars are telling the story of the apocalypse. It suggests it was a comet impact and a magnetic pole shift. Other cultures use different images to tell the same story. This moves the date of the flood back to about 10,000 years ago which coincides with global temperature changes. We call it the end of the ice age.

In conclusion, we might conjecture that the religion of the builder’s of Göbekli Tepe is one of long duration. We call it today the religion of Baal but know little of it. Yet, in modern day religions, there are still bits and pieces of it as shown above.

The Newport Tower: Finding the Year of Dedication, its Designer and Builder

B.L. Freeborn © October 30, 2022, Rewritten June 2025        (PDF version here.)

Who built the Newport Tower is a long standing question. It has been well proven by James Eagan that the tower is used for keeping time as the celestial bodies align with its numerous small windows. Eagan also noticed that certain letters formed with stones appear in the arches of the structure. Most notable and hard to miss is the >OI<. He found the Delta and P (shown as R). He also thought the h was a Greek η. From there he determined, probably correctly, it spells out Rode as in Rhode Island. His theory states John Dee had the tower built in 1583 in connection with a colonization attempt which failed.

The tower is shown on the “Woods Map 1635’ by William Woods a colonist in Providence, RI (Syverson, pg.32) The map notes it as Old Plymouth. This is the earliest known record and predates Benedict Arnold senior’s ownership. Evidently Arnold knew what it was and probably who built it, but because of the possibility of these prior claims resurfacing he referred to it as an old windmill knowing very well only a fool would believe that.

Newport Tower in 2023

After studying Eagan’s discovery, the other letters shown above were identified. There are eight arches. Three of which have one letter displayed and five display two each. There is also a round stone on the interior opposite the >OI< stone which is on the northwest side. This makes fourteen altogether. To complicate the picture there is a runic inscription found over the southwest pillar (see images below). It was translated by Mongé (1967) and it reads Henricus 1116. This refers to Bishop Henricus from Greenland that was sent to Vinland. He is known as Bishop Eirik Gnupsson in Icelandic annals. Other theories as to the tower’s origin abound. The Henricus theory is at least supported by an inscription imbedded into the tower itself in the manner of a corner stone.

This paper is a study of the inscription and stone letters. It is also an addendum to Validating North American Runic Inscriptions (PDF). The translation is given here and the study with its numeric work follows. The aforementioned paper will be helpful in understanding it.

Translation

The round stone on a peg in the NW arch is as indicative of Baal as a cross is to Christ. (The >OI< stones.) Furthermore, it would seem the stone letters spell out Baal. This leads to studying the ‘inscription’ as if it is of Baalist origin and if so, certain numbers must be present. Validating North American Runic Inscriptions describes how certain numbers are embedded in Baalist inscriptions. One should recall that the Catholic Church went to great lengths to stamp out paganism in the time preceding, during and after Henricus’ tenure as Bishop. Apparently, Baal was central to that religion which is why there are so many references to it hidden in runic riddles. The dedication to Baal at Newport tower is unmistakable. The stone letters are repeated here:
Reading in a clockwise manner – b O O L T I h Δ I O >I< P/R O
These are transliterated as:           B A A L T I h D I A I R O

Note that the P in some scripts/languages is R. The O’s can be either O or A. Similarly, the I can be E. In Futhark runes B can be P.
Reading from the top clockwise find: RO, BAAL, TI, HI, HID, DI, O, >I<
Also find: HIT, I TOOL, O LO, BOR, ROB, POL, RODE or RHODE and OH.

The first line suggests: Row, Baal, Tie, die, high, hide, eye, two strikes at I.
The second adds: hit, I tool Rob, hole low, bore, pole; rod, red or road; and oh. We may conclude:

Baal at the high tie hit. It hit twice at the eye in rows.
The hole is low where it bored the eye of the pole.

“ROB” tooled (designed and built).
Rhode Island

The first two lines are typical Baalist statements. The words are easily found in the inscription. Rhode Island perhaps requires an explanation. RHODE appears to be a combined anagram for Rod (or Red) and Oh (meaning island). A rod is a measuring length of 16.5 feet. The clay on the shores of Rhode Island is notably red so it might also refer to red. This suggests the name, Rhode Island, is much older than cited by modern authorities. The name Rob, R.O.B. or B.O.R. is the name or initials of the designer. The H presumably represents his pseudonym, Henricus. (To be discussed further below.)

Then Comes Henricus

Above the southwest pillar of the tower is a runic inscription. Harek Williams examines it in a video with James Eagan and confirms it is human carved and nothing more. A much better source for proving it is an authentic runic carving is Alf Mongé. Why the latter? Harek Williams reads plain text runes from that period. He does not delve into runic puzzles or dated riddles. Alf Mongé was a cryptologist. He deciphered the deep scratch marks into runic letters and decoded them. He found it reads: Henricus 1116. This gives a lower limit to the age of the tower. Based on other runic inscriptions found along the east coast and the Narragansett inscription nearby this seems plausible.

The rapidity with which the tower is giving away to nature demands that it must be under constant care. This requires that, regardless of when it was built, it must have been periodically repaired. It has been nine hundred years since Bishop Henricus visited (circa 1116) as stated in the Vinland map legend. The Spirit Pond stones are dated to 1214-1217. (Freeborn, Deciphering.., 2022) They commemorate his visit. The Kensington Stone’s date is 1362. (Freeborn, Kensington.., 2023) It states the travelers came from Rhode Island. In 1525 Verazzanno explored the coast but did not mention the tower. In 1583 John Dee sent an expedition to the area. By the 1600’s it was settled by colonists and it came under the care of Benedict Arnold senior. This could mean it received periodic maintenance since the time of its construction, on or after 1116, until Arnold’s ownership five hundred years later.

The date and builder need not be total speculation. The aforementioned inlaid letters tell the story of Baal. If they were chosen in the manner of a runic riddle they may reveal more. Since Henricus was a master at runic riddles, and if this was built by him or in honor of him, then the symbols should contain further information. These riddles often contained a date.

As far as John Dee being the designer, that is possible as well. However, and it is a very big however, he was a devoted Christian and this tower is clearly a dedication to Baal. A study of Dee’s mathematics does not display the numbers so prevalent in Baalist inscriptions which suggests he is not the creator. The two religions are not mutually exclusive since Henricus was a Bishop of the church, but he lived at the point in time when paganism, through genocide, was actively being stamped out. To continue their religion and live, they were forced underground or in this case, off the European continent. It is possible he was of both beliefs.

After a mathematical study (which follows) of the letters’ number equivalents more information was derived. As seen, it was erected to commemorate the great story of Baal. It also commemorates Henricus’ visit in 1116 and suggests an erection date from 1153 to 1161. This is some thirty years after his supposed death. In keeping with his humor, or some might say his ego, he designed and oversaw the construction himself.

Number Work and Proof of Transliteration

Certain numbers** appear when the letters in any Baalist inscription is converted to their numerical equivalent (gematria). The Newport Tower’s hidden letter/numbers are studied here. Numbers that are typically found are noted by a ✓ check mark. Simply put, if the numbers are not found, it is -not- a true Baalist inscription -or- the letters have been misinterpreted. Once the correct letters are proven via their gematria then the message about Baal can be read and also, possibly, who wrote it and when. The result of this study is as noted above.

The proposed transcription of symbols imbedded in the arches of the Newport Tower is shown below. The numbers are studied for repetitions and pertinent numbers.

Norse Runic Gematria

Sum from T and around to first A = 79. From the same A to L is 23. So that it is 79,23.✓
Total sum is 98 or 89 in reverse which reminds one 89 x 89 = 7921.✓
The sum from the Δ around again to the 7 is 89. ✓ The 79 is also imbedded in the text.✓
Even more notable the 9,3,9 sum to 21 so it becomes 7921.✓
The sum from the first A to first I is 51.✓ The sum from H to the right and around to L is 86.✓
The 28 appears twice which is half of 56.✓ The sum from B to the left around to the I (by H) is 56.✓
The sum from first I to the last O is 43. Twice 43 is 86.✓
The tower also spells out RHODI or Rhode. These letters have values: 5,7,4,3,9 = 28 and twice this is 56 ✓
Note the 12’s at T, ID, DI. Note the 13 at AI just following the 12.
Note the 14 at IR. Lastly, note 7 and 9 sum to 16.
By summing adjoining numbers find: 13,17, 19, 15, 19,12, 16, 12, 12, 13, 13, 14, 9, 17…
On either side of the 16 is a 12, then 12, 12, 13, 13, 14.

Years 1112,1113, 1114, 1115,1116 and 1117 are all implied by the series. These numbers coincide with the period of time Henricus was believed to be in Vinland. In dated runic riddles the Golden Number (GN), Day Letter (DL) and Line # are used to denote a year since every year has specific values that can be found in Easter Tables (a calendar device created in 525 AD). The main legend on the Vinland Map has the phrase: ‘anno p. ss. nrj.’. This uses a 1, 2, 3 sequence in the abbreviations. Since ‘anno’ means year, this is clearly a reference to ‘year 1123’ when Bishop Henricus was replaced by Bishop Arnold and his death was therefore presumed. As an example, if it implies Line #1, Golden Number (GN) 2 and Day Letter (DL) 3 then 1161 is indicated. In this instance, for year 1116, the values are Line #19, GN 14, and DL 3. There are two sums of value 19 with a 15 in between. The delta is the only letter in Greek. D has value 3 in Futhark. This 3 would be the DL. This then easily points to a date 1116. The date has additional merit as seen below. Without corroborating information as seen in the imbedded stone and Vinland map, other dates remain as possibilities.

Runic Inscription Study

Briefly, this is a summary of Mongé’s decipherment of the small stone imbedded above one of the pillars shown in the image above. It is a group of five runes and two are joined runes: (HE) N (IK) ʀ S or Henricus. There is an arrow to the right. The arrow is another feature common on Baalist inscriptions.** Using runic gematria, the year 1116 is found. The (HE) is 16. The S is 11. The ʀ is 16. The (IK) is 15. Reading in reverse find 1116. The repetition of the 16 and 15 help confirm the interpretation. It is worth reading Mongé’s study (Mongé, pgs 128-129).

The Structure Contributes

Round sun stone on interior.

The structure is set up to provide numbers as well. There are 8 pillars and 10 symbols that appear on five arches (two each). One symbol (the round sunstone) is in the inside and three arches have only one symbol for a total of 14 symbols. 4 x 14 = 56.✓
There are five arches with two symbols each or 10.
There are three with one each for 3. Total 13.
There is a single round stone on the interior. So 1. Then 1 and 13 ➟ 113 = 56.5 x 2.✓
There are 8 pillars and of course, 8 arches. A square of sides 5.656 has a diagonal of 8.✓
There are double symbols in 5 arches and single symbols in 3.
If the first arch with B is #1, then the arches with two symbols are found on: 3, 5, 6, 7,8. The ever present 3 is represented, then 56 and 7 x 8 is 56 again.✓ Similarly, if B is #1, then it is 1 symbol, then 1 symbol, then 2 symbols; or 112 which is twice 56.✓

One may again conclude after finding so many numbers typically found in Baalist documents that the transliteration is correct. The set of numbers is then 5,3,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1 and 10. Let us view this another way. There are 3 arches with only 1 symbol. This is part of the story of Baal. There are 3 arcs.✓ The repeating 2’s emphasize that there were 2 Baals ✓.

Also note the number 532 is easily found. This is the number of years in the Easter Table before the table starts to repeat. Its presence infers a date. The 1,2,3 suggests year 1161 as seen above. The more probable date of 1153 is also easily implied here. Of the eight arches 5 have two symbols and 3 have one for 53. There is one round stone on the inside and one on the outside between two pillars which implies the 11. The sum of the digits in 1153 is 10 which is the number of double symbols.✓ It is suggested that Henricus journeyed to Rhode Island a second time or began the structure in 1153, and the tower was completed on or before 1161. This accounts for some of the confusion in the Vinland Map that says, ‘He remained a long time summer and winter and later returned toward Greenland.’ He was presumed dead in 1123 but reappears thirty years later.

Newport Tower with OM on side. Round stone is O. Adjoining arches form M.

Who was the Builder?

Further information is here about Henricus. If the letter sequence is viewed using the Elder Futhark gematria we find:
18 4 4 21 17 9 11 23 11 4 11 5 24 …18
B  A A L  T H  I   D   I  A I R O… B ⇒… repeats..

It is believed Henricus died in 1123 because a new Bishop of Greenland was consecrated in 1124. Note that 1123 is emphasized in the sequence.

Find: I, DI, H 1123…… I die 1123 (as) Henricus.
I HID 1123 ……… I hid 1123.
I R O B …. or… B. O. R. or I Rob….

In other runic riddles such phrases are anagrams. Recall first that the O’s were also considered to be A’s and find in these letters – B A A L T H I D I A I R O the following:

I DI  REAL PA AT OH ………. I die. Real father at island. (OH = island)
I ROB LOT I AID HA ………. I rob (the) lot. I aid. Ha!
I HID A O ROB IT AL ………. I hid. I ring rob it all.
I A O I HID ROB LOT ………. I a ring. I hid. Rob lot.
I HI PA O RAID LOT ………. I high father (bishop). Ring raid lot.
I PA H I O RAID LOT ………. I Father H. I ring (that) raid lot.
IT A O ROB AL I HID ………. It a ring. Rob all. I hid.
I PA O HID AL AT RI ………. I father. Ring hid all at RI (Rhode Island).
RHODE IT AL I A PA ………. Rhode. It all I, a father.

This sounds like the confession of a thief who robbed and aided. Furthermore, it suggests he hid it at RI, which one might think refers to treasure. It is more likely it means he was using his ill gotten gains to ‘aid’ his fellow man and hiding those people at Rhode Island. What sort of people needed to be hidden in that era? And is there a thief known as Rob who stole from the rich and gave to the poor? Who then was Henricus? Who was Rob?

Perhaps a couple more phrases might help.

I O PA HID AL AT RI ………. I O. Father (who) hid all at RI. (Rhode Island)
I O R PA AL HAT I DI ………. I O . Are Father (of) all. Hate I die.
I O R PA AL HAT I DI ………. I O . Are pa. All hate I die.

The image of the side of the tower shows a round stone between two arches. (See above.) If the round stone is an O then might not the two arches represent an M? Who then was OM and was OM a king?

It just so happens that a king also died in 1123 and his name was Oystein Magnusson who co-ruled Norway with his brother Sigurd the Crusader. Sigurd was a warrior and killer. It is then possible it was Oystein who named Henricus (Erik) as Bishop to Greenland.

A study of the two kings’ relationship can be seen in the historical account of Snorri. They were not friends. The need arises for a new bishop in Greenland in 1123. It is Sigurd that names him since Oystein has died unexpectedly.

So then we might ask:
• Did King Oystein name himself as Bishop and travel to Rhode Island as Henricus?
• Was King Oystein spiriting his people away from the genocides in Norway and sending them to Rhode Island?
• Was he funding his enterprise by robbing?
• King Oystein was a fabulous architect and builder of ships, bridges and churches. Did he design the tower?
• Did he hide from his murderous brother and later return to Rhode Island to oversee the tower’s construction?

Perhaps if one looks closer at the Vinland map (yes… it’s been declared a fake…), one can find his initials OM there as well. (Hint: use two copies against a sunny window.) Did King Oystein also pen the map?

 

Conclusion

The Newport Tower’s embedded letters when converted to gematria reveal numbers typical of Baalist documents. Their transliteration and subsequent translation educate us in a long lost religion. That this tower displays these features severely narrows the field of possible builders. It also strongly suggests that the northern peoples, Norse and others, inhabited this region known as Rhode Island for some time and built an elegant edifice by the year 1161. Pagan / Baalist beliefs are apparent in the design of the structure. Regardless of who designed and built this Tower, it is a marvelous feat of time keeping / engineering.

This still leaves us plenty of mystery but the time period has narrowed to a window beginning in 1116 to around 1161. Furthermore, new evidence of the builder/architect is presented here pointing to a man who used the alias Henricus and who signed his work O.M.

Runic Riddles: Time Capsules

B.L. Freeborn © December 2022               (PDF version here.)

Runic riddles are riddles written in runes. Runes are alphabets that were in use in northern Europe, Britain and other northern areas. They were used for centuries but died out and banned with the coming of Christianity.

There are a certain group of inscriptions from this period that are either difficult to interpret, very short, have unexplained symbols, use bindrunes (letters stuck together), and/ or are unusual for some reason. Here is an example from Norway (Lomen No. 2; Norges Inscrifter Med De Yngre Runer, Vol.1, Pg. 216) deemed to be a magic incantation. It is simply a riddle. The solution is at the end of the post.

These unusual ones are where the riddles hide. Primarily they were created for amusement, in the same manner as crosswords are today. Besides providing unique puzzles for people to solve, they often contained phrases and ‘secret messages’ that we find strange or incomprehensible today. They are little windows into a bygone era before the cleansing of facts by ‘modern’ teachers, internet myths, and the Catholic church. The latter worked especially hard via genocide and threats to stamp out Paganism. Throw the Black death into the picture which killed half the population of these areas and it is not surprising that the information these riddles reveal seems …. surprising to say the least.

Sadly, the numbers of inscriptions still in existence are declining with each passing year. They were once abundant. Many now only exist in photos. The few remaining tell us something of importance.

Many preserve the concepts of Baal and Paganism. This religion can be traced back 12000 years. The remaining practitioners faced with the power of the Catholic Church found a way to preserve some hints of it in these riddles. Others tell us of extraordinary journeys. They reveal an important part of our lost knowledge.

The following posts bring a few of these riddles to you. Others are available as pdfs at the bottom of the posts.

Hopefully, they are both enjoyable and educational to you.

Solution:

This is called a magic formula – ISTIL form. The number of duplicated runes varies. This one uses triplicates and to match the three makes bindrunes of the six initial runes. The transliteration of the three bindrunes and duplicated runes is RT UÆ KN III SSS TTT III LLL. This is an anagram for ‘stlis’ in Latin which means ‘quarrel’ or ’cause’ and/or ‘tellus’ meaning Earth or region. This implies a ‘global difficulty.’

The three bindrunes and the triplicates suggest 3. This is equal to Th (or D) rune. Simplify and add the Th:    Th    R T U Æ K N    I S T I L. As numbers this is: 3   5 12 2 4 6 8     9 11 12 9 15.

The group ISTIL has four notable values. 9,11,12 sum to 32✓; then 9,15 sum to 24✓; then 12,9,15 sum to 36✓; and the total is 56.✓ All of these numbers are important. (For checked ✓ number meanings see below**. See next table for rune/number equivalents.)

The first group containing the bindrunes has no meaningful sums except for the total with the 3 (Th) included which is 40. A square of sides 40 has 56.56 as a diagonal. This repeats the ISTIL sum. The group does have the significant series 4 6 8 which in reverse is 864.✓

From Wikipedia

There are several elements of the riddle missing. The author and year are often stated and the number 792 (always present) is missing. This is long enough to contain both. Mongé derived the name KanutR from the first six runes. His solution is different than what is presented here. (Landsverk, Ancient…, pg. 127-138) However, by inspection the name Thorniut is found. (The Æ includes the sound O. Also, the I rune can be an E.) The only letter missing is an I and a K is left over. There are two I’s in the last group, so this implies letter sharing. If the K shifts to the last group notice this list of small abbreviated words can be formed: KIL (kill); I TIL (I tell); I LIS (I lies); S (south); I TI LI S (I tie lie South). When taken altogether the following is suggested:

I Thorniut tell. The I tie lies South where it was killed in the global upheaval.

This is a typical Baalist statement, including the name of the author, but the number 792 is still missing so the solution is incomplete. If Thorniut is converted to numbers as given (without the I) one finds: 3 4 5 8 2 12. Now the following sums are noted: 3,4 sums to 7; then 4,5 sums to 9; then 3,4,5,8 sums to 20 so that we now have 7920.✓

The year would complete the picture. Some indication of the year and three other numbers is sought: the Golden Number (GN), the Day Letter (DL) and the Line #. These numbers are used to find dates on the Perpetual Easter Table (here). A complete discussion of this is found in any of Landsverk’s books listed below.

The letters as bindrunes were anagrammed for a reason so returning to those runes/numbers we have: 5 12 2 4 6 8. These can somewhat change order since there is no way to tell which rune of the bindrune should go first ie. 12 5 4 2 8 6 etc. Note the 1224 looks like a year and in fact, Line # 4 in the attached chart begins with that year. The 4 is present in the series. But year 1224 has GN 9 which is not present in this group. Since 3 is prominently noted by the triplicates, if taken to mean GN 3 then on this 4th line, year 1237 is indicated. It has day letter 4. The sum of this series of numbers is 37 confirming the date.

Other dates for similar reasons can be found. But after much searching 1237 seemed to have the most in its favor. Mongé dated this to 3 March 1199 using just the 3’s. There is good reason to accept his date except that all versions of Istil riddles repeating 3 times would then imply the same date. The reader is free to search for other plausible dates using the attached Easter Table.

I Thorniut tell in the year 1237. The I tie lies South where it was killed in the global upheaval.

.difficult most the of one,

Then read them right to left:

The Torah
was written using one of the
simplest codes ever created or,
considering
how long it took to break it,
one of the most difficult.

Apply this same method to this verse from the Torah. (Word order already reversed.)

Deuteronomy Verse 25:14:

Change into Latin letters:

ea-l  h-i-h-i  k-l

c-th-i-b-b

Haep-pie-ea
Haep-pie-ea
Hleow-wod-dag
Hnat-taque-quo

From Old English to modern:

All! Hy! Hy! It killed!
Clearly then around about it was stranded in tides
It happened as the powerful worms were at the source
It happened as the powerful worms were at the source
At the hollow mound it was senseless as the daggers
collided and changed the direction of its tack as it was leveled

Using the same method:

-Deuteronomy 28:1

Tos-seare-rab beuf-wom loma

It tossed, seared and raved above as it was bent where it looms

And these are some of the numerous other gems:

“Gaze on it all and how it was essentially horrible.”   -Numbers 6:4

“It quelled the living with stones that were abundant
It billowed forth thus as it ebbed at the gorges
in the lands with wasting heat.”    -Numbers 22: 38

“The battles on the living were woeful omens and flames that married.”    -Numbers 22: 41.

Making Words in Indo-European

© 2019 B. L. Freeborn

It has been suggested in prior posts that the alphabet is the basis of the Indo-European Language. The Hebrew Alphabet is one of the oldest alphabets and was used for this study. (See below.) Each letter already had a sound and a number associated to it. In this study a concept was attached. These symbols then comprise the Indo-European language.

To complete the exercise, let us put it to the test by examining some old Anglo-Saxon words and others. Using the concept list at the bottom observe how it may be used with the following words:

Sun… a combination of s-u-n: continuous-ongoing-yet varying. This aptly describes the sun.

From Anglo-Saxon (Old English): nes which means to survive. It is comprised of n-s: varying yet ongoing.

From Old English nest. It is comprised of n-s-t: varying yet ongoing place.

From Old English os means mouth. In Latin it means bone. It is comprised of o-s: ongoing and continuous.

From Greek chaos means abyss. Today it means confusion. It is comprised of ch-a-o-s: changing-source-ongoing-continuous.

From Old English yth means flood. It is comprised of i-th: eye – of greatest importance. Suggesting the source of the flood.

From Old English toss. It is essentially comprised of ts: to harm by tossing.

From Old English ra means to raid. Comprised of r: explosion/spreading.

From Old English raesc meaning shower. It is comprised of r-sh: explosion/spreading – of the smallest.

Compare to ras meaning to search out. Today it means erase. Comprised of r-z: explosion/spreading – sever.

Compare to raes meaning to rush, attack. Comprised of r-s: explosion/spreading – continuous.

From Old English sar means sore. Comprised of z – r: sever – spread.

From Old English seare means cunning. Comprised of s-r: continuous – spreading.

From Old English net. Comprised of n-t: varying – places of union/ties.

From Old English mag meaning may. Comprised of m-A: more – allowed.

From Old English ag means to gain or take. Comprised of a-g: source-action.

From Old English ah means to gain or take. Comprised of a-h: source-on high.

Now examine the word magnet. Note the contraction of may-ag-net as defined above.

From Old English thoth means yet, that, then at that time. Comprised of th-th: important-extreme.

From Greek tessarace means summit of a four sided tetrahedron. Note the contraction of toss-seare-raes or tossing that continued from an attack.

And the last word for the day…

The seventh word in the Torah (in Latin letters) is ts-r-ea-h which means in Hebrew (when read left to right) the Earth. Note the contraction of toss-seare-ra-ah or a tossing that continued as it raided and gained control.

This all leaves one very much to consider……..!

Significant ideas of the Indo-European Language:

‘a’ source, ‘b’ to be bisected, ‘g’ action, rotation,

Key to the Hebrew Letters and the Latin Letter that will serve to substitute for it in this study due to font issues.

‘d’ a division or state,‘h’ on high, ‘u’,’o’,’wf’ ongoing,

‘z’ to sever, severeness, ‘ch’ to change,

‘t’ a place of union, linear action, ‘I’,’y’ the eye or center,

‘k’ the impact crater and its properties,

‘L’ to lie where it fell, to lay out, to be in a line,

‘m’ more, might, measure of, ‘n’ negation, to reverse in direction yet continue,

‘s’ continuous state of being, unbroken, ‘A’ assigned, custom law,

‘p’ power in the small or great, ‘ts’ to harm by tossing, teasing, twisting, action that harms,

‘q’ magnetic pole and force,

‘r’ behavior of an explosion,

‘sh’ becoming infinitely small or transparent, ephemeral

and ‘th’ denotes importance and order of events.

The Indo-European Language in Summary

© 2019 B. L. Freeborn

It was suggested previously that the alphabet as preserved in the Hebrew Script represents the original Indo-European Language and that each letter represents a sound, number and idea.

David Sacks, author of the excellent work on the alphabet “Letter Perfect: The Marvelous History of out Alphabet from A to Z”, would not approve of anything written here. He relates that the letters were created to describe objects such as houses, sticks, monkeys, mouths and eyes etc.

What has been proposed in these posts and reiterated below is the idea the alphabet was developed to describe physical principles such as continuity, points, and negation. This is the vocabulary of scientists. Their need to relate their discoveries and preserve the history of the apocalypse drove the development of this sound/number/symbol system and resulted in a language that spread from one scientific mind to the next until it was well….. pretty much known world-wide. We find it in its most basic form in Anglo-Saxon (Old English) and in its advanced and far distant forms in such places as Japan and Canada.

From Anglo-Saxon: toss and name (meaning ‘to take possession’);

compare from Japanese: tsunami  (meaning ‘a wave that tosses and takes’).

From Anglo-Saxon: ness (headland), top and pock;

compare to the name in the native language of Hudson Bay:  Nastopoka Arc.

Here is a summary of the significant ideas of the Indo-European Language:

‘a’ source, ‘b’ to be bisected, ‘g’ action, rotation,

‘d’ a division or state,‘h’ on high, ‘wf’ ongoing,

‘z’ to sever, severeness, ‘ch’ to change,

‘t’ a place of union, linear action, ‘I’ the eye or center,

‘k’ the impact crater and its properties,

‘L’ to lie where it fell, to lay out, to be in a line,

‘m’ more, might, measure of, ‘n’ negation, to reverse in direction yet continue,

‘s’ continuous state of being, unbroken, ‘A’ assigned, custom law,

‘p’ power in the small or great, ‘ts’ to harm by tossing, teasing, twisting, action that harms,

‘q’ magnetic pole and force,

‘r’ behavior of an explosion,

‘sh’ becoming infinitely small or transparent, ephemeral

and ‘th’ denotes importance and order of events.

Key to the Hebrew Letters and the Latin Letter that will serve to substitute for it in this study due to font issues.

Before this topic is concluded, let us use the above to look at a few interesting words.

Another Secret Hidden in the Hebrew Alphabet

© 2019 B. L. Freeborn

It was suggested previously that the alphabet as preserved in the Hebrew Script represents the original Indo-European Language and that each letter represents a sound, number and idea.

In the last posts ea, b, g; d, h, wf, z, ch, t; I k, L; m, n, s; A, p, ts; q, r, sh and th were examined.

Consider that the sounds may have been assigned to the numbers to preserve a specific message. Then each time the alphabet was read certain words were spoken.

Does a-b-g-d-h-u-z-ch-t-i-k-l-m-n-s-a-p-ts-q-r-sh-th say something?

It is suggested that it did originally tell a specific story. This is why the letters k, l, m, n have maintained their order as they were transferred into various alphabets. The meaning of the words as they are found in this series was stated at the end of each post. All the words are gathered together below in order.

Does it say….

It ebbed as it was done in a big way. It wandered as it was divided and somehow it was driven away. The warriors chattered at the tie. Increasingly it was killed and lamed. Yet men survived. The story repeated as it put it here and tossed it. It tossed the magnetic pole into a quern as it rushed the sheath.

ea-b or aeb = ebb;

b-g or beg = to do, care for, used today in the phrase “that is very big of you”;

g-d or gad (wandering in lack)

d-h or dah = division, partial

h-wf or hu = how, hwy = why

wf-z or fys = feeze, drive away

z-ch or secg = ‘sedge’, reed, sword, warrior

Key to the Hebrew Letters and the Latin Letter that will serve to substitute for it in this study due to font issues.

ch-t or ‘chette’ = chatter from raescettan = crackle, creak;

t-i or tieg = to tie, bind;

i-k or iec = increase;

k-l or cyll = skin, kill

l-m or lama = cripple, lay;

m-n or man = mankind, force, troop;

n-s or nes = escape, survive

s-A or seg = say, story;

A-p or apa = repeat, manifest;

p-ts or put-toss.

ts-q or toss – cue;

q-r or cweorn = quern; queer = unusual state

r-sh or raesc = shower, raesc = vibrate, quiver;

sh-th or sceath = sheath, covering.

Indo-European: In the Simplest Terms

© 2019 B. L. Freeborn

It was suggested previously that the alphabet as preserved in the Hebrew Script represents the original Indo-European Language and that each letter represents a sound, number and idea.

In the last posts ea, b, g; d, h, wf; z, ch, t; I, k, L; m, n, s; A, p and ts were studied. In this post the last of the letters: q, r, sh and th are examined.

They represent numbers 100, 200, 300 and 400 respectively. The Hebrew Letters are as seen in the image below.

The ‘q’ sound represents the number 100. When pronounced as ‘cue or queue’ it reveals itself. It suggests what happens next or lining up. The word quintessence means the fifth essence or element. The other elements are air, fire, earth, and water. What element exists that is not listed here? Magnetism and it has the ability to make things cue up.

Consider that it suggests the idea: magnetic pole and force.

The next letter ‘r’ has value 200. We find it used in such common words as rush, roar, ray, rage and rake. As before in its related terms 20 and 2 we have a doubling here. It repeats the idea that two comets raged and raked or exploded as they struck.

Consider it suggests the idea: behavior of an explosion.

The next letter provides the sound ‘sh’. It has value 300. We see it used in such words as shim, shimmer, show, shoe, and shy.

Consider that it suggests the idea: becoming infinitely small or transparent, ephemeral.

The last letter provides the sound ‘th’. It has value 400. Numerically this an extraordinary number. It is the ratio between the distances of the Moon and Earth; and Sun and Earth; and their diameters. As a sound, it must be one of the most frequently used in modern English. It is essentially ‘the’ and found in this, that, then, there, thus, thing etc. At one time there was even a second form of the word spelled ‘tha’ which meant then, at that time. We use it to give words importance. Get the book not a book.

Consider that it suggests the idea: denotes importance and order of events.

Key to the Hebrew Letters and the Latin Letter that will serve to substitute for it in this study due to font issues.

From Anglo-Saxon note these examples using these letters:

cwys = bruise, cwec = quicken, cwel = quell;

ra = ran, robbery, ryhe = blanket, rec = to govern;

shy = shoe, foundation, scyg = to shoe, sceaw = show;

theg = to serve, thy = thy, the, after, theb = thief, thaw = thaw.

Note the meaning of the words as they are found in series as provided by the alphabet. Continuing where we left off:

ts-q or toss – cue;

q-r or cweorn = quern, queer = unusual state;

r-sh or raesc = shower, raesc = vibrate, quiver;

sh-th or sceath = sheath, covering.

Before we had these significant ideas: ‘a’ source, ‘b’ to be bisected, ‘g’ action, rotation, ‘d’ a division or state,‘h’ on high, ‘wf’ ongoing, ‘z’ to sever, severeness, ‘ch’ to change, ‘t’ a place of union, linear action, ‘I’ the eye or center, ‘k’ the impact crater and its properties, ‘L’ to lie where it fell, to lay out, to be in a line, ‘m’ more, might, measure of, ‘n’ negation, to reverse in direction yet continue, ‘s’ continuous state of being, unbroken, ‘A’ assigned, custom law, ‘p’ power in the small or great, and ‘ts’ to harm by tossing, teasing, twisting, action that harms. Each is represented by a short sound.

Now we have these ideas: ‘q’ magnetic pole and force, ‘r’ behavior of an explosion, ‘sh’ becoming infinitely small or transparent, ephemeral and ‘th’ denotes importance and order of events.

In the Indo-European Language: Letters Hold the Power

© 2019 B. L. Freeborn

It was suggested previously that the alphabet as preserved in the Hebrew Script represents the original Indo-European Language and that each letter represents a sound, number and idea.

In the last posts ea, b, g; d, h, wf; z, ch, t; i, k, L; m, n and s were studied. In this post A, p, and ts are examined.

They represent numbers 70, 80 and 90 respectively. The Hebrew Letters are as seen in the image below.

It is suggested the ‘long A’ sound represents the number seventy. This number is of importance when measuring longitude. The distance between each degree is 69.2 miles at the equator. From the pole down it creates a wedge shape which is reflected in both the Latin and Hebrew letter form. Notably in Anglo-Saxon ae meant law, custom.

Consider that it suggests the idea: assigned, custom, law.

The next letter ‘p’ has value 80. We find it used in such common words as point, place, plane and power.

Consider it suggests the idea: power in the small or great.

The next letter provides the sound ‘ts’. It has value 90. Numerically this is an important number. The pole lies at 90 degrees and this is the place where the story of Baal plays out. The comet struck here at the tessarace. (A tessarace is the summit of a tetrahedron or four-sided figure with top and bottom like the Great Pyramid.)

Consider that it suggests the idea: to harm by tossing, teasing, twisting, action that harms.

Key to the Hebrew Letters and the Latin Letter that will serve to substitute for it in this study due to font issues.

From Anglo-Saxon note these examples using these letters:

At = at, awa = world without end, aetys = present, attest, al = fire, burning;

pa = father, pohha = pocket, pawa = peacock;

teosu = harm, injure, tosaw = strew, scatter.

Note the meaning of the words as they are found in the series as provided by the alphabet’s order. Continuing where we left off:

s-A or seg = say, story;

A-p or apa = repeat, manifest;

p-ts or put-toss.

Before we had these significant ideas: ‘a’ source, ‘b’ to be bisected, ‘g’ action, rotation, ‘d’ a division or state,‘h’ on high, ‘wf’ ongoing, ‘z’ to sever, severeness, ‘ch’ to change, ‘t’ a place of union, linear action, ‘I’ the eye or center, ‘k’ the impact crater and its properties, ‘L’ to lie where it fell, to lay out, to be in a line, ‘m’ more, might, measure of, ‘n’ negation, to reverse in direction yet continue, and ‘s’ continuous state of being, unbroken. Each is represented by a short sound.

Now we have these ideas: ‘A’ assigned, custom law, ‘p’ power in the small or great, and ‘ts’ to harm by tossing, teasing, twisting, action that harms.
