However, "inverted" could also be seen as "flipped." Due to the first rune on the second line appearing to be a "flipped" Raido rune, it is believed likely that inversion on the slab could be generally "flipped." Where both a rotation OR flip is possible (first rune, first line could be Tiwaz flipped or Laguz rotated), the FLIPPED version will be considered first. In each "match" column, it will be indicated if it's a match if "flipped" or "rotated" rather than simply "inverted." Despite trying to establish symbol's "age" all names are given in Proto-Germanic to correspond with the base table being used https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runes.
