ᚠ The Rune Cabinet

Sixteen staves, not twenty-four. After about 700 CE the north dropped Elder Futhark down to this tighter case — one rune now stands for several Latin letters. Stones from Jelling to Rök speak it. This is a transliterator, not a spell.

Curator’s note. Long-branch (Danish) forms are shown. Short-twig (Swedish–Norwegian) is a sister cabinet. þ/th → ᚦ; æ/ä → ᛅ; ø/ö → ᚢ or ᚬ depending on school — here ø → ᚢ. Dots and bind-runes are not attempted.

Unicode Runic block. Inventory follows the 16-character younger fuþark as on the Jelling stones and standard teaching charts (Barnes, Runes: A Handbook).
