![]() ![]() I've corrected the initial post, but that means my recommendation for writing "Snær" would be ᛋᚾᚨᛉ. Secondly, I was incorrect in my initial post about which rune to use for the "æ" sound in "Snær." I used "ᛁ" (The Isa rune, "ee" sound) where "ᚨ/ᚬ" (The As/Oss rune, which includes kind of a Fonzie "ehhy" sound that comes close to æ) would be more accurate. Ur ᚢ represents the sounds v/w/u, y, o, ø.So "auk" is indeed how "ok" is pronounced phonetically for an English speaker, however in old Norse an "o" automatically makes a guttural "au" sound, so if you want to write those runes accurately, that is as someone living in Scandinavia during the Viking times would, it would be ᚢᚴ instead of what you wrote. Although the Old English was known for using this alphabet, the Old Norse people also used it in the Old Norse language, in fact before the people of the British. Runes were transliterated, so for example "attack" would be written "atak", "sword" to "sord", etc. The runes represented were used to write words in an alphabetic manner all belonged to the Old English runic alphabet (also known as Elder Futhark, or more literally Elder Fuark). Your interpretation seems pretty accurate, but with a few discrepancies They are both "younger futhark", and your choice may be purely based on aesthetic, but as a native Danish speaker I absolutely approve! I commend your dedication, its a joy to read about! First off I want to make sure you know you've used Danish long branch runes in your picture, as opposed to Swedish/Norwegian short twig runes.
