Queries on Dedication Stones.

10. WAS HI FOR.SÉITH SA MÉI SIN BRUD SJVGUN MANNIS DÉLUN ÁSKA VMBE [30] HIRA FRYA.DULF
EN STÉN TO TO WJANDE MAR THÀN MOT HJA FORTH ÉREWÉDVE BILYVA HJRA LÉVA LÔNG.
10. If he was engaged, his bride may ask seven shares in order to dedicate a stone
to her fiance, but then she must remain an honorable widow all her life.
-. Laws for the Steersmen

The above quote mentions stones being dedicated to fallen sailors, so should we expect stones with Frya's runes on them to be found in the future?
Brea, bûter en griene tsiis is goed Ingelsk en goed Frysk
