Proto-Norse
- ᛒᛡᚱᛁᚢᛏᛁᚦ (bᴀriutiþ /bᵃriutiþ/) (older form, from the 3rd singular)
Etymology
From Proto-Germanic *briutizi, the 2nd singular present indicative of *breutaną. The ᛡ (A) present in between the ᛒ (b) and ᚱ (r) represents a svarabhakti (epenthetic) vowel, which however is not seen in the Old Norse orthography (brýt-) or in cognate words (such as Old English brēotan). Compare ᚢᚦᛡᚱᛡᛒᛡ (ūþArᵃbA), ᚺᚨᚱᚨᛒᚨᚾᚨᛉ (hᵃrabᵃnaz).
Verb
ᛒᛡᚱᚢᛏᛉ (bᴀrutʀ /bᵃrȳtʀ/) (2nd/3rd singular present indicative)

Usage notes
- Whereas the older form ᛒᛡᚱᛁᚢᛏᛁᚦ (bᴀriutiþ /bᵃriutiþ/), used on the Stentoften Runestone, is inherited from the Proto-Germanic 3rd singular present indicative *briutidi, the younger form ᛒᛡᚱᚢᛏᛉ, used on the Björketorp Runestone, comes from the Proto-Germanic 2nd singular present indicative *briutizi. This is due to a merger of the 3rd singular into the 2nd singular in the present tense of most verbs, fully completed in Old Norse, where both the 2nd and 3rd singular have the form brýtr (< ᛒᛡᚱᚢᛏᛉ < *briutizi).
