As many of you know there are several "bug in a jar" objects in the game (butterfly, bee, torchbug, moth etc) I have noticed however that each one has a word inscribed on the underside of the lid, does anyone know what these words mean? It is a different word in each jar and quite hard to make out what they say, but they are definitely words. Anyone who knows more about lore then me able to work out what the words/symbols mean?

Thanks

I don't know, though I have wondered.

What I want is to be able to let the bugs go....

They're runes from the elder futhark, mostly. Some are a bit off or non-existant.
The words doesn't make much sense if translated directly though.
