Hey, I need to know this stuff, so no problem. I think the decision is
stupid but it is not your fault. Outside of the fact it appears on
Bronze-Age northern pictures stones as representing the sun and shields, I
suppose I see their point since everything seem to have a Mediterranian
centrism to it. What if it was changed to a Icelandic solarhringr-very
similar but with eight spokes as opposed to four?
Now let's see, I cannot get away with just a rune either because it is a
"letter" (despite being used for shorthand to replace the word it
represented in period). I guess it is time to get creative.....
