Description
I had to re-create a lot of names of this table, and even created the last rune, 'neΖal' for the sound 'Ζ' ('v' sound).Old Saxon is a sister-language to Old English spoken in the Netherlands and Northern Germany around the 9th century, it is an almost forgotten language that I want to revive.
For more informations on Anglo-Saxon, Old Saxon, Norse and Gothic runes, see this table: [link]

Futhorc is the Old English set of runes, this is a reconstruction of the Old Saxon ones, Old Saxon was the sister language of Old English spoken in the Netherlands and Northern Germany from the 6th century to the 12th when it evolved into Middle Low Saxon. It's the ancestor of some dialects of the Netherlands and Northern Germany (Low German also called Plattdeutsch) and was very close to Old Dutch

I belive the "th" rune should be shown as the "thorn" letter (ΓΎ) and not the "eth" letter (Γ°).

Not in Old Saxon, in Old English yes though^^Β ΓΎ didn't exist in Old Saxon, they prefered writing 'th' for the unvoiced th-sound, though they used 'Γ°' for the voiced th-sound.

I see, the modern letters as listed aren't the descendants of the runes. Thanks.

There is no Z. Its certainly not in Latin so wonder where that came up from. Lovely layout by the way, very easy to understand
π: 0 β©: 1
I think 'Z' comes from Old High German, but it wasn't used in Old Saxon^^ But I don't know where it comes from really^^
Thanks, I loved searching for survivings of runes in Old Saxon and then gather it all and make it

ahh i thought it might have been Germanic but didn't want to say it and be seen as a complete fool LOL.
Yeah the older languages are so poetic and mystic - I study occult languages myself which are fascinating really
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh in fact I don't know (and now I'm maybe the complete fool xD)!!
Yes I think so, I love occultism and esoterism and find it very interesting^^ Old English and my knowledge of languages sometimes helps (I can tell you 'wicca' means 'wizard' and not 'witch' and it was pronounced 'witcha' yay!!!), especially for runes^^ but what I like most are texts in Old English and other old languages^^ always keepers of a brilliant wisdom^^

Lol nah with your knowledge i don't fool is in your vocabulary lol.
I love authors of the old languages like Chaucer. It so beautifully written if a bit difficult to decipher. and yes the magic elements have such good sayings in them

I just like the appearance of Perda. What does it translate to? (I'm not good a translating runes to English)

Pertha is 'a joy in peace and a big feast' following one of my books^^

Actually this is more like the old hungarian alphabet which is still in use in some parts in central europe.

That's funny that some folks are still using some kinds of runes nowadays 
π: 0 β©: 0
It's funny, because I find a lot of nowadays norwegian in this:
Fehu "cattle" is very similar to "feh" a old way of saying any domesticated animal, usually herbivores like goat, sheep and cattle. Γs "god" as in Asgarding or "ase/Γ¦se". Hagal "Hail" is very similar to "hagl" which is used today. NΓ΄d "need" is very similar to how we spell it today: "nΓΈd". Is "ice" is just the same as today. SΓ΄wol "sun" is not far from "sol". Berk "birch tree" is almost like "bjerk". Man "man" is, you gussed it, "mann". Dag "day" is just the same as today. And stΓͺn "stone" is just one of the two ways to say stone in norwegian: sten and stein.
It's fascinating to see how little the language has actually changed and how similar many of the languages were back then.
Thank you for sharing this with us
