Runes
Runes (
Proto-Norse: (
runo),
Old Norse:
rún) are the
letters in a set of related
alphabets known as
runic alphabets, which were used to write various
Germanic languages before the adoption of the
Latin alphabet and for specialised purposes thereafter. The Scandinavian variants are also known as
futhark or
fuþark (derived from their first six letters of the alphabet:
F,
U,
Þ,
A,
R, and
K); the
Anglo-Saxon variant is
futhorc or
fuþorc (due to sound changes undergone in
Old English by the names of those six letters).
