Need some help: Peace - Friðr. ᚠᚱᛁᚦᛦ or ᚠᚱᛁᚦᚱ?
Hi there, another one asking for some help to translate a word to runes properly, as it is going to be on my skin forever, don't wanna make a huge mistake.
So the word would be "peace," and I would like to be accurate in the translation. According to what I found, "Friðr" would be the word in Old Norse, and, bearing in mind that I want to translate it into Young Futhark, as it is the alphabet used during the Viking era, I concluded that ᚠᚱᛁᚦᛦ would be the one. The problem is that I've seen on the internet and some Icelandic or other Old Norse dictionaries another depiction, which is ᚠᚱᛁᚦᚱ.
Which one would be more historically correct? I still think ᚠᚱᛁᚦᛦ. I read somewhere that after the Christianization and the end of the Viking era, they stopped using both runes altogether and started using only R (reid, if I'm not mistaken), getting rid of ᛦ (Yr). So that is maybe why in the dictionaries I see the ᚠᚱᛁᚦᚱ depiction (the way of writing it around the XII century) instead of the other one, more archaic and related to the beginning of the Viking era.
Could someone clarify this to me? correct me if I'm wrong?
Thank you very much in advance :)
