How to use Runes to write Modern Languages || The Phonetic Values of the Runes

- This video was requested by a lovely subscriber. They were wondering what the Phonetic Values of the Runes were. So I thought I'd wrap two topics into one video. In this one I'll quickly go over the Phonetic Value of each Elder Futhark Rune and explain how they sound. But not only that, I'm also explaining how to use the Runes to write Modern Languages like English or German. This is a tricky topic, so get ready!

I'm originally Serbian, so this is incredibly easy for me to understand. 😊 We have a purely phonetic language, so understanding this way of writing is super relatable to me. I've never committed to learning about working with runes (as it's not part of my heritage), even though I've always been drawn to them. 🤔 I'm looking forward to watching the rest of your playlist.
I really appreciate all of the work you've put into this video, Bente. Also, I'm so impressed that you've given such clear examples of phonetic values while teaching in a language that isn't your native tongue. I'm always blown away by people who can speak more than one language fluently. Thank you for a great and helpful video :)
Thank you! ❤️ I tried my best ☺️
I paused this video a ton, so I could take notes. Thank you so much, this is really helpful!
I‘m glad 🥰🥰
Hey there. I'm a little late to the party. I wanted to suggest that if you want an "sh" sound at the onset of a syllable, you might try a digraph with "SJ." The affricates could be represented by the digraphs "TJ" and "DJ," respectively. I love your videos!
Thank you for filming this. Now I can try to use them more.
Also when you said nudes I almost spit out my dinner from laughing so hard. 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 sorry
Love these videos. I’m looking into Norse and Celtic things. I would love to see more rune videos as well as more things focused on Norse practices
Good stuff - thanks for posting.
I've seen the runes written with a signifier to indicate a modern sound. So for example, you would put a little dot to the top left of Sowilu to indicate the SH sound rather than the S sound. Some runes would have multiple signifiers, such as Jera, with a dot in the top left to signify the hard J, or a dot in the bottom right to signify the hard CH. When writing in the past, it was easier for me to have a key to indicate which rune/signifier went to which phonetic sound, perhaps in the front or back of the book to be easier to flip to.
loooved the video and examples, thank you for that! i am happy the phonetic game is easier for me, I've had a lot of experience thanks to japanese and korean lessons 😁
That’s great 🥰
Great video!! Very helpful and understandable!!
Thank you! ☺️☺️
Blessings very informative love the jazz..xx 🌛🌕🌜🦉
Thank you so much for this series, which I have been watching while learning the runes.
What is your latest book recommendation? (English and/or German)
Thank you 💜
Definitely „Call of the Runes“ by Walter McGrory!!
This is really useful!! Thanks a lot ❤❤❤
Dear Norse Witch, I am not an expert but to translate every single letter into runes to me is the right way. The seccond variation you offered, is like our Lautschrift. It is a possibility, but we usually don´t write our words and sentences in lautschrift , we always write them the first way, you offered to us. Just saying... But maybe you as an expert are right witth the second way you mentioned...
The best way of writing with runes while preserving the original pronunciation of each runes (with some modifications to fit Modern English phonology) is by using IPA transcriptions and spelling words phonetically, otherwise you're basically just creating a code (also, there're no runes for every single letter in the English alphabet).
It comes at a perfect time. I want to make bindrunes in the next days. 😅
Now if I ever want to flirt with someone in Elder Futhark I can ask for nudes, this is the education I signed up for lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I been thinking about about getting a bind rune tattoo with my little one name. Her name is Alexandra, but we call her Ally. What do you think the best runes would be. Thank you so much for all your wonderful videos.
If you wann ago the phonetic route it would probably be Ehwaz - Laguz - Isa, since the A in Ally is more of an Eh sound (like in "every") than an Ah (like in "part") sound. You would only need one Laguz since you only hear one L sound, and the Y make the EE/EA sound like in "easy" or "week", which would be the Isa rune.
If you want to go letter by letter it would be Ansuz - Laguz - Laguz - Jera.
Hope that helped!!
(Also her name is beautiful!!!)
Some runes can have another forms as well? Im strugling with some runes ive found, it sometimes apears in some alfabets and in others not,like jera that not apear sometimes and kenaz that have others 2 or 3 figures to represent K or KK.Can u help please..?
Am a growing lgges learner ..hope this helps me
Use bind runes to create symbols for novel sounds
This is probably how languages added symbols and evolved.
Can't make a sound? Time to learn how to curse! Again.
And then keep going.
So how are phonetic values determined for languages that have ceased to be used before protogermanic? As in they use this in archeological studies, how are they determining phonetic value? As in say when they refer to Olmec, is it the proceeding civilizations pronunciation in a spoken language for which phonetic values can be reliably traced in origin, I just don't believe things like this sometimes not because I am refuting it could be true, simply because I can see so many reasons it may have severe loss in the translation process
