NIED nied is difficult to judge as being reversed, however if it is so, it means that the attitude of the person has been flippant and thoughtless. Heedless of life and the wisdoms. They now must pay the dues for such thinking. The person needs to change his or her approach to life and duty, or the consequences will be dire
Is (ice) This rune is not nearly as forbidding as it seems at first glance. Ice may be very dangerous, or in fact protective. Hence the old saying to "put on ice" or to save for another day. Is counsels caution. It means that to continue in the present course will cause great difficulty, and advises that we freeze all plans and stop for thought and deliberation. It is always to be taken as a serious warning. In affairs of the heart it does not look well for the future. Ice has struck at the heart of the relationship, and there is little chance that matters will work out for the best. The advice of this rune is to put plans on hold, and wait for a change in the situation.Eventually there will be one, and life will revert to normal.
IS in reverse does not change in appearance, nor does it's meaning change.

Eoh (horse) The meaning of this rune is for the most part neutral. indicating travel, and a possible change of horizons.

When man appears in the cast it tends to mean that the questioner has somehow lost their way in life or in the situation. That they need to seek advice, and bring a clarity back to the present situation. Perhaps the only counsel you need seek is from within, not from others.It is so easily done to become self absorbed, and forget duty to ones family and friends, as well as to the earth which mothers you. Man may show too that it is time to place others aside and tread a more solitary path.
MANN reversed shows that you are surrounded by others who do not have your best interests at heart. There is someone, or something standing in the path of your desires
Lagu (water) implies the hidden side of our nature. Water is associated with the moon, which controls the movements of the tides, so, it implies that when lagu shows, it is time for the querent to turn off the incessant chatter of the world and listen to the inner voice. Some people will smile at you listening to your Intuition, but,.this attitude may create further difficulties. Lagu advises to flow with the tides rather than to fight against life. it signifies receptiveness.
LAGU reversed points to weakness and possible betrayal. The subconscious part of the mind is mixed up and will create real difficulties if it, or others are given too much credence, Think for yourself...and think well.
