Anglo-Saxon Futhork Runes
This is a set of characters that are similar to english characters.The word
rune comes from the old
Anglo-Saxon word 'run' pronounced
roon meaning secret or mystery. Most rune alphabets are varients of an alphabet called the German or Elder Futhork
Rune Alphabet that was developed by Northern European Tribes during the first millineum. It consisted of three
columns and eight rows. It is called the futhork or
futhorc because going down the first column translated into english it will spell futhork or futhorc. There are certain characters that
connot be translated direstly into english. Some characters if attempted to tranlated into certain pronociation helpers like a double
dotted 'i' and a combinations of characters 'c' and 'e' and a combination of characters 'a' and 'e' telling us that in the original language they used weird foreign accents.. The letter
'u' and 'v' are both the same character and the letters
'x' and 'z' are both the same character telling us that in the original language one of them was not used often. There is a
singal character for 'th' and 'ng' and 'ea' and 'gh' and 'kh' telling us that these combination sounds were used often. There is not a character for the letter 'q' telling us that they did not use the 'q' sound.
