Fra Wikipedia, den frie encyklopædi
Heavener-runestenen i Oklahoma, som er ca. halvvejs inde i USA, er formentlig ristet år 600-900 og formodes at være en "grænsesten". Dens korte indskrift er blevet fortolket som "Gaomedat" og videre fortolket som "Glomedal", "G. Nomedal". Nomedal er et norsk familienavn.
