Background
(November 25, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was found laying in the churchyard beside the south porch broken into two pieces. It had previously been built, upside down, into the wall of an old house near the west end of the church. It is now inside the building set upon a modern stone base at the west end of the S. aisle.

Bleu Bridge Runestone 462 - Gulval Parish, Cornwall


Background
Macalister reports that this stone was standing at the end of a foot - bridge called Blue (otherwise Blew or Bleu) Bridge crossing a small stream. It is on the right bank of the stream and the inscription is on the side facing it. This was cut and rubbed, but is worn and clogged with lichen. In Borlase's time the stone served as the bridge, which sufficiently accounts for its worn condition. He gives its total length then as 7' 9".
It is made from a block of granite being 4' 11" x 1' 9 1/2″ × 0' 10". Scheduled Date: 30 November 1926, Source ID: 1006727, English Heritage Legacy ID: CO 38

Du Ya Ḫu Wa. IṢu Ya Ḫu USu
Pu Wa ENu. ATu AWu Ku IKu
In English
Don't manifest Hu's restrictions. Don't make scarce Hu's normal-behavior
The Opener (Selu/Selene) can restrict the reassignments. Monitor the motion-powers' involvement with the irrigation network (life network of Hu).
Comment: Hu is the sun and storm god. When cursed Hu is causing a drought by withholding rain. Hu also represents the life network (irrigation network) through which the fertility-fluids (life powers) flow and are assigned to the proper places on earth to manifest life. The celestial light goddess Selene represents the motion powers of the stars and planets and so defines fate. This text is saying that her powers are the one's inhibiting life's correct assignments/manifestations on earth. Therefore use divination to monitor those powers.

In English
Involvement of the astrological-fate-powers is normal. The Moon-eye (Su) is redirecting the rioting.
Should we not be prodding the fate-owls omens?
The involvement and emotional-effects will push the griffons. Free-up the high-powers from the redirection by Su.
Comment: This text is promoting the preservation of some status quo against revolutionary change (rioting) being blamed on the fate shifting by the dark new moon god Su.

Background
(January 12, 2026) Macalister reports that according to the Victoria County History (1 : 416) it was formerly called "The Long Stone" and stood at Castledor in the parish of Tywardreath, two miles north of its present position. But Borlase quotes Leland to the effect that in his time it was a mile from Castledor.
It stood at the crossways shortly before 1769, but was then removed and deposited in a ditch. On the summit of the stone there is a mortice-it may be for receiving a later cross, or the shaft of a set of finger- posts. An ordnance - Survey bench-mark has been cut on the stone just under the S of FILIVS.
It is now erected on two stone steps in the middle of the cross -roads called " Four Turnings (Lostwithiel - Fowey - Par Station - Bodinnick). The inscription, cut and rubbed on the south face, is much disintegrated.
It is made of granite being 8′ 6″ × 1′ 9″ × 1′ 4″.

King Doniert's Stone - Near St. Cleer, Cornwall

In English
The divine-motion-powers are not being revealed
Disablement is opening astrology-magic's divine-birds (owls)
The life-threads will restrict the omens
Thu will reveal Yahu's fertility-fluids (life powers)
emotionally-triggering the life-threads
Comment: Some drought is occurring which is being blamed on a lack of motion powers which push the life powers from the divine realm to earth. This is allowing the harbingers of fate (death) to appear. Thu is the genderless Druid deity associated with motion powers originating with emotions. Yahu is the god who manifests those flowing life powers (fertility-fluids) on earth as physical objects.

Not only are the letter assignments wrong this makes no sense as a sentence.
Background
(February 23, 2026) King Doniert's Stone was first recorded 1600 in its present location near St Cleer on Bodmin Moor, Cornwall. (Camden 1600, 155). Despite various vicissitudes (see Okasha 1993, 213) it has remained there.
In 1849 the Exeter Diocesan Architectural Society carried out excavations around the stones and discovered a hidden vault beneath them which appeared to have originally been an ancient mine shaft. The results were published by Mr Charles Spence in the Transactions of that society a paper entitled Iter Cornubiense in which he detailed the proceedings of the work.
After raising Doniert's stone and placing it in an erect position, a mass of granite no less than two tons and a half in weight, the workmen were directed to dig down by the side of the other monolith. After reaching a depth of about eight or nine feet a hole was discovered. Here they found a vault eighteen feet in length from east to west and sixteen from north to south. The width of the vault was about four feet. The sides were perpendicular and the was roof circular and all smoothed with a tool and as level as the rough nature of the naked rock would permit. The men employed for this task came from South Caradon mine. It was reported that these miners said that it was "nothing but old workings in other words ancient mine works."(The Antiquarian, Volume 2. Page 14).
