The Nordic futhark - Normal runesThe Nordic Futhark is a simplified version of the earlier Germanic rune row. The original 24 runes have become 16. The Nordic Futhark was used pretty similar in the Nordic countries between 800 and 1100. Some local changes have been done to it to make it easier to carve it in the local tree sorts. |
