 I had always assumed that the numbers were something more like roman numerals so that the HP would be (triangle) and the attack would be (triangle + vertical thing), which I assumed to mean 50 HP and 60 power because that's more reasonable than any other actual roman numerals interpretation(L and LX in roman numerals). But the actual values could of course be different. [[User:The Golux|The Golux]] 01:28, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
+I recently learned both elder and younger futhark, and after looking at the card, I realized there was one small error in the translation. The text says "Little cat... or evil", not little god. The first letter is the younger futhark k sound rune. The second is the a sound rune as in hat, but drawn in a different style. (Two lines vs. one but still slanting upwards) Finally, the last rune is the short twig younger futhark rune for t. Thus, "Kat" or cat. This makes sense as the people who discovered the new species might have thought "Awww, what a cute kitty", then realized it to be possibly evil. I think people were interpreting the a in the word as a as in awe, because of the two lines making it look like the awe sound rune. However, the lines are slanted upwards, not downwards, so it must be the a as in hat sound. BMVC 05:56, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
