r/RuneHelp

Hello,

I am fairly new to runes and self taught outside of my friend who introduced me and gifted me my first rune set. I have began to use my initials as runes(PMB) with Wunjo, Ehwaz & Berkana in my art as signatures/watermarks. I like the meaning of these runes together based on my research and wanted to get a custom journal with this engraved and replaceable paper. With that being said, before I bring something like that where I could be seen in public anywhere, is this fairly safe or is there any hidden meanings or offend someone of different cultures I am unfamiliar with in the Bible belt of TN?

I was thinking about how to translate "autumn weather" into Norse. My best bet was "haustveðr". In Norwegian (my native language), there are sometimes linking morphemes. In this case, the Norwegian translation would be "haustvær / høstvær", which uses no linking morpheme. But, I don't know if Norse would be the same. And perhaps there's other aspects of this construction that I haven't considered?

Also, what would be the runic form of haustveðr (or the correct version of it, if it is wrong) in the Younger Futhark alphabet?

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 :)

I'm looking for some folks to tell me how they'd translate this back to English:

ᚦᚢᚱ ᚢᛁᚴᛁ ᚢᛁᛁᚦᛁᛘᛅᚦᚱ

ᚦᚢᚱ ᚢᛁᚴᛁ ᚢᛁᛁᚦ

These runes are my attempt at writing a couple basic phrases in Old Norse using Younger Futhark. Instead of asking "does this mean what I think it does," I'd like to remove any bias by suggesting what I think it says and instead know how you would translate this. If you read it the way I intend it, I'll consider it a success. If not, I'll learn something.

Tell me your interpretation in the comments and I'll let you know what I was trying to say.

Thanks!
