Lesson 2: The Elder Futhark - History and Runes
Chapter 2
~Brief History of the Elder Futhark
-oldest of all Germanic rune scripts
-used 2nd-8th centuries by German tribes
-later modified into the Younger Futhark and the Anglo-Saxon Futhork
-Muggles lost knowledge of it until Norwegian Muggle scholar, Sophus Bugge translated it
- believed to have originated from the Old Italic scripts, quite possibly Etruscan or Raetic, with fairly strong Roman influences
-runes as the Wizarding World understands them are known as Schreiber’s corrections.
-ᚠᚢᚦᚫᚱᚲ are the first 6 sounds, spelling "Futhark"
-each symbol stands for a sound
-runes are ideograms - runes connect to a meaning but not a specific word

~Names and Meanings
-all runes have a sound and name
-most rune names start with the representing sound
~Variants
-some runes have several forms/shapes
~Ligatures
-combinations of runes
-symbol has characteristics from both runes
-rarer than variants
~Vocabulary (copied from lesson)
-Futhark: The runic equivalent of the word “alphabet”, derived from the sounds of its first six letters.
-Ideogram: A symbol that represents an idea or concept.
-Ligature: A combination of several runes that looks like a single letter, constructed from parts of all the components.
-Phonetic script: A writing system that is based on the sounds of speech/language, representing each sound with a specific symbol.
-Reconstructions (linguistic): Words that have been reconstructed back to their probable original forms based on later versions of the language.
-Runic script/Runes: Marks or letters of mysterious or magical significance. This year we will be focusing on those developed in the Northern Germanic cultures around the 2nd century CE
-Schreiber’s corrections: The standardised magical meanings of the runes based on Sofia Schreiber’s work.
-Variants: Symbols that are similar to the standard symbol for the rune that you might come in contact with while reading. While these symbols have the exact same meaning at the standard rune, small aesthetic or stylistic changes may be present.
