The Nylarsker stone 2, Ny Larsker stone I or DR 380 is a Viking Age runestone engraved in Old Norse with the Younger Futhark runic alphabet on Bornholm. The runestone was discovered in 1643 and first mentioned in Ole Worm's Monumenta Danica.[1] It was to be found outside the entrance of Nylars Church until 1855.[1] It is securely dated to the period 1075–1125, and belongs to a group of Bornholm runestones that were made during the transition from the Viking Age to the Nordic Middle Ages.[1] It made in sandstone and it is 186 cm tall, 146,5 cm wide and 17 cm thick,[1] and the style of the runestone is the runestone style RAK.[2]
The inscription is partly made in the Old Norse fornyrðislag meter (cf. Nielsen 1983:224-25) and consists of a traveller's or a soul formula.[1] It possible that "Sveinn of the hooded cloak" was a descendant of the Jomsviking Sigurd of the hooded cloak who is said to have settled on Bornholm after the battle of Hjørungavåg ca. 986.[1]
The language shows linguistic changes in "raisti" where there is a transition from sþ to st. The old ʀ-phoneme has merged with the r-phoneme as in "a(f)tir".[1] The form "kobu" probably reflects a late u umlaut, and the form Mikial (Michael) has palatalization with parallels in West Norse and in Old Swedish (Brøndum Nielsen GG § 247).[1] The ansuz rune is of a special form.[1]

"Sveinn (of the hooded cloak? son of Kápa?) raised this stone in memory of Bausi, his son, a good valiant man, who was killed in battle at Útlengia. May Lord God and Saint Michael help his spirit. "[2]
