The arms of the cross are alright, the ring at the centre is
uneven. The blades almost make a square. The eyes are round
and even. The head is well shaped but oddly enough the
tongue is missing. Unless it was forgotten, raking light
might reveal it. |

Rune 12, the S, was forgotten at first but was squeezed in
later.
All the S-runes were simplified and carved with half head
staffs only.
The same type of runes can be found on
U 1154 and U
774Erik often had troubles with
the S-runes and might have thought that he had found a
solution. The commissioners, however, seemed
less pleased, and after those three stones, Erik never
carved this type of S-runes again.
Below, you can see an article in Swedish on U 793,
taken from the book Upplands Runskrifter.
