3 Αυγ 2019 · Anglo-Saxon Runes. The Anglo-Saxon runes or Anglo-Frisian runes are collectively known as the Futhorc because those are the first letters of that runic alphabet. The earliest form of the Futhorc looked almost exactly like the Elder Futhark with three more runes in the 5th century.
Anglo-Saxon runes are an extended version of Elder Futhark consisting of between 26 and 33 letters. It is thought that they were used to write Old English / Anglo-Saxon and Old Frisian from about the 5th century AD.
Page lays out an almost exhaustive introduction to the Anglo-Saxon runes and runic inscriptions on stones, coins, manuscripts, and other materials. This book makes for an excellent addition to a well-rounded runic library.
Anglo-Saxon runic inscriptions are found along the coast from today Friesland in North-West Germany to the Netherlands and in England and Skottland.
These are runes ior for ‘io’, cweorþ for ‘q’ and stan for ’st’. A special place among Anglo-Saxon Futhorc inscriptions belongs to the 8th century Ruthwell Cross with 320 runes, containing portions of the poem known as The Dream of the Rood preserved in the so-called Vercelli Book.
The manuscript with the English rune poem on it has burned away, but Ior can still be found in Cotton MS Domitian A IX , and possibly in Codex Sangallensis 878. Is it the case that in the 'Classic' Younger Futhark there is absolute ambiguity in sound value?
