hi there,
one of the few really good and reliable internet sites about runes is here:
http://www.arild-hauge.com/eindex.htm

apart from that i would always advise to read one or two scholarly books on
runes, and not rely entirely on the internet :-)

runes did not make a difference between long (accented) and short vocals.
not even all manuscript sources written in old norse adhere strictly to what
we today would consider "orthographic rules". people in earlier times were a
bit more careless about that. if it could be read and understood, so what?
;-)
there is a rune that equals the þ letter, which actually came into the latin
alphabet from that rune. ð was variously written d, t, þ... as a special
letter it comes from old english, i think.

's e do bheatha ;-)

Subject: [norse_course] Hi...Norse Runes?




Hello, I just barely joined yahoo a few days ago, wanting to get to
this course, and I am very excited...
But I have a question: Do any of you know of any really good and
very reliable resource sites on norse runes?, because I want to
learn those too. I apologize if someone has already asked
this,...the message board is really a large archive.
My problem with finding a reliable source is that none of the sites
I have found state what runes to use for the accented letters...or
does that matter? That, and for the letters þ and ð (Ð).

Go raibh maith agait (thank you)
