Major rune rows are all derivations from the oldest
and most frequently used in divinations, the Elder Futhark. Futharks,
or Futhorcs are runic alphabets, and they are named by the first six pronunciation
sounds of the rune rows, just as the original alphabet is named by the
first two Greek letters - alpha and beta. On this page you can find simple
tables of the most important rune-rows throughout the history. We're starting
with the Elder and Younger
Futhark (you can visit the more profound interpretation of the latter).
