  1. Futhorc are the runes used in Old English. Futhark are the runes used in Proto-Germanic and Old High German. There is also Futhork, which is a Scandinavian runic alphabhet. This is what happens when your writing system becomes too popular.

  3. The word “Alphabet” does come from greek. and the letters’ names come from literally the first alphabet ever recorded — the Proto-Sinaitic script

  4. æ was pronounced /æ/ in Old English, but, the word “Encyclopædia” was Latin, not English, and in Latin æ was not even a letter, but a sometimes-used ligature for “ae”, which was, unsurprisingly, pronounced /ae/ ( but later turned into just /e/ )

  7. but why would “most europeans” be using a letter from English? It is to distinguish 7 from 1. They can look similar if you don’t write the base of the 1, which you may want to do to distinguish 1 from 2 ( in certain handwriting )

  9. i am pretty sure that the order ᚠ ᚢ ᚦ ᚩ ᚱ ᚳ ᚷ ᚹ ᚻ ᚾ is the correct order. Also the runes have very inconsistent stroke width in this font and i hate it
