I personally go with the theory Dr. Jackson Crawford mentions in his video on the origins of the runes. That is to say that ᚹ is derived from the same Greek letter Q is derived from. His video goes into a much greater amount of detail, obviously, and I would recommend that video be watched, if it hasn’t already.

Do you have this chart in better quality? I love all the work you did on it I just can't see the runes clearly.

I think your idea about ᚹ being derived from ᛒ is more probable. Had it been derived from ᚢ then it would have looked like ᚥ, which was used to represent /w/ in later Scandinavian inscriptions.

I would like to ask your stance on using the old z rune as x, as this feels to me less a native decision and more something brought about only by the need to transliterate latin. I would also like to ask how authentic Gar and the new K rune are, as before this video I had been only using the "core" 28 runes, using the old z rune as a k, Cēn for ch, Gifu for G, and the j rune for the j phoneme in all contexts. I am very passionate about historical accuracy and trying best to fit it to the modern day, I have seen you in the Anglish subreddit and elsewhere and hope we are someone likeminded, but I know I have more to learn. Unfortunately I have not the resources or time to significantly, I feel, improve my own means of learning, which is why I'm asking this now rather than trying to consult and study old runic inscriptions.

i think its from ᚱ as W is pronounced very similarly to R, with some people (like kids) even being unable to pronounce r and instead pronouncing it as w

New roots spelling video lets goooo

I do this with younger futhark but with nordic (broadly swedish, danish, norwegian). Most my rune choices are based on the Codex Runicus as well as later runestones from mainly Sweden (where most runestones are anyways) so getting old east norse spellings generally

Good stuff.

What about the letter yughy? /jk Fascinating video, i hadn't seen quite this much before about the letter.

Just a thought, perhaps the germanic people of old were also influenced by the 12 signs. This seems to be common around the world and history. I doubt it would be a perfect comparison. But I can imagine all humans building calendars around the equinoxes and solstices. The fact that our current calendar isn't built around that is actually kind of silly to me. Like December should be shifted back a bit and simply be Sagittarius. The Chinese have it right, new year should be in the spring. What we celebrate as new year in the west is arbitrary and silly. If someone placed the runes that way and contemplated the astrological signs and their journey, then we would probably find a really interesting order way of lining up the runes.

Could you alternatively use Weald instead of wood in rain forest? Like Rainweald?

Ic wæs bliðe for ðære gebetunge þe þu dydest, and ic willige ðin fílman and þone micclan fílman þe ic gesáwe. (The correction you are doing made me pleased at it, and I will like your video and great video I watched.)

That's one of my favourite books on runes. It's well written and easy to understand.

I think your theory is spot on.

What about the evidence of this rune in the elder futhark inscriptions before the “Anglo Saxon futhorc reform”? Antonsen definitely makes a good argument for the original assignment of /æ:/. But why does /e/ get no love when the reconstructed name has an “ei” in it (eihaz)?

My grandma is part German 🇩🇪 and Nordic 🇳🇴

Ive been finding anglo saxon history so very fascinating of late. According to a family memeber they traced my family name back to the 7th century. Id love to get a tattoo with my surname (Bowes) in Futhorc runes. But really strugging to understand it. Can it be literally transferred from modern english to Futhorc? So for example B would be berc O would be os W would be wyn E would be eh and S would be sigel? Or is it not as simple as that? Ive been stewing on this for about a year now and can not find a definitive answer. Great video by the way very informative.

I have more to say on this topic after reading the scholarly book "Runic Amulets and Magic Objects" by MacLeod and Mees. The book puts forth that some runes were used as abbreviations for magical words like ᚨᛚᚢ and ᛚᚨᚢᚲᚨᛉ. I think it's worth getting. The book is thick but it has lots of information I didn't know about when I made this video.

I realy love this runic system. it is easy to understand for most english speakers. that said though, when i started using it, i immediately made some changes. mostly its the same. but some letters got changed and addid. ᚧ & ᚡ were added from later runes for /θ/ and /ð/. ᚸ now meiks the /ʤ/ and ᚣ is now /ju/. below is a re write of your dog story from the end now as a limeric useing my version. :ᚧᛖᚱ·ᚹᛟᚾᛋ·ᚹᚪᛋ·ᚫ·ᛞᚩᚷ.ᚩᚢᚻ·ᛋᚩᚢ·ᛚᚪᚢᛞ. ᚻᛁᛋ·ᛒᚪᚱᛣ·ᛈᛁᛖᚱᛥ·ᚦᚱᚢ·ᚪᚾᛠ·ᛣᛚᚪᚢᛞ: ᚧᛖ·ᛣᚫᛏ·ᛗᛖᛁᛞ·ᚪ·ᛏᚱᚫᛈ.ᛒᛟᛏ·ᛁᛏ·ᚠᛖᛚ·ᚹᛁᚧ·ᚪ·ᛋᚾᚪᛈ. ᚾᚪᚹ·ᚧᛖ·ᛞᚩᚷᛋ·ᚾᚩᛁᛋ·ᛖᛣᚩᚢᛋ·ᚢᚾᛒᚫᚹᛞ: :ᚻᛖᚱᛚᛖᛒᚪᛏ:ᛄᛟᛝᚷᛖᚱ·ᚠᚢᚦᚩᚱᚳ:

I should've brought up that these staves are also cool in that they are siblings to Canaanish staves, not offspring of them like most staves.

Did the elder futhark have ᛡ for an /a/ type sound and then it disappeared and then reappeared as an /i:/ sound (maybe as a bind of ᛁᚷ)?

6:16 Interesting thing about Ear ᛠ. “Heard” used to be the way they said “hard”. So one could say that the English also had a similar sound development to the frisians in some cases

You should no-joke add undertitles in Fuþark at the bottom while Modern English ones on the top of the video, methinks

Hey so I'm trying to spell tyrs name with runes and I'm having trouble figuring out what rune represents the letter y because I'm finding different runes for the letter y but i can't seem to find the what correct one is

You mentioned (somewhere) that ᛇ never made both a vowel sound and a consonant sound in the same text. Do you think that is intentional or it just so happened that it didn’t have to opportunity to do both. Like maybe none of the words had both sounds present.

When ᛇ began to be associated with /ç/, wasn’t ᚻ already a valid rune for that sound?

What’s the story behind ᚻᛋ exactly? Was the idea that it was more of a /çs/ sound rather than a /ks/ sound? How prevalent was that combination?

Could you make a video about futhorc punctuation and space markers?

Thanks for the information about the doubling of runes to indicate vowel length. Was the video intended to cut off immediately after you mentioned that?

I hadn't realised that the name of the letter yogh was directly derived from the name of the rune ᛇ. That connection explains a lot.

þank you

Its really difficult for me to hear the audio even at max volume when im driving. If there was some way you could increase the volume by 2 or 3x that would be really helpful! Thanks for the interesting videos.

How would you transcribe "þæs oferēode, þisses swā mæg" from the poem Deor and have you thought about making a video transcribing in practice

A good film þu madest. I luf þe friþful ludes 😁

In Nottingham England I hear thank Yo a lot, just phonetically similar. Cheers Herb

I've always liked saying Winterfilleth for Winterfylleþ

Cool kind sunds bro! 😎😎😎

I plan to read out an Anglish translation of Robin Hood and the Monk with this footage as the background. I'd film Sherwood but it's too far away.

COMMENTARY 1) I should've pronounced base with /z/ not /s/. 2) Hewen should've been spelled hewn.

But cove would come from cave which comes from Latin cavitas .

"Wold" is also a good one for "forest". Interestingly, it can also mean "plain" or a "hill" sometimes. That could be a semantic borrowing from Old Norse, since their cognate means "plain" too. That meaning also showed up in English at the same time other Old Norse loans started showing up in writing. It could also be since a lot of the places that were once forests were being cut down into empty plains and hills, and "forest" was already being borrowed from French, the unneeded "wold" shifted to talk about the now treeless countryside.

i know it's a calque of a german word, but i like 'hinderland', which means roughly: the land behind a port (countryside, wilderness)

We need more spoken Anglish!

Tƿo þings: Hƿen geƿ sag "Semitisc," geƿ ƿeeld þe be-Ledened licness of þe Biblisc leed "Scem" and þe Greek ƿrordtail "-ite." Sins efen in mean Englisc, ƿe sag "Shem," not "Sem," sculdn't þe more Hebreƿ speaking be þe grund of an Anglisc word? Furþermore, "-ling" is þe ƿordtail ƿeelded for offspring, ƿe sculd sƿap "-ite" ƿið "-ling," geeliding "Scemling." I ƿuld also make þe ilk scift for oðer Bliblisc ƿords for folks: "Canaanite"→"Canaanling," and so on.

Pretty good eyn sound for ma’in

A handful of these are Celtic and North Germanic, by the way.

Great woodcraft for the folk. Cheers from Icel land, Sherwood Forest, Mercia

I think German Runes would handle the consonant shifts like this: ᛈ /pf/ ᛏ /ts/ ᛞ /t/ ᚦ /d/
