Version 2. I forgot to mention gemination last time, and I attempted to pronounce [ç] more accurately this time.

Thanks for the information about the doubling of runes to indicate vowel length. Was the video intended to cut off immediately after you mentioned that?

Ya it's supposed to end there.

What’s the story behind ᚻᛋ exactly? Was the idea that it was more of a /çs/ sound rather than a /ks/ sound? How prevalent was that combination?

@Hurlebatte

Ай бұрын

I thought so, but I was told that it might've just been a conservative spelling which no longer reflected the pronunciation. It was apparently pronounced something like /xs/ in Proto-Germanic, and ᚻᛋ and ᛇᛋ might reflect that old pronunciation. Apparently the spelling "rihsigende" shows that a scribe used HS to represent a combination that probably wasn't /xs/, so that might be evidence that HS, ᚻᛋ, and ᛇᛋ were conservative spellings which were being used for /ks/ whether or not /ks/ came from /xs/.

@@Hurlebatte that makes sense! We can see that pronunciation in random conservative germanic languages too. Fuhs and Fuchs etc

would ʌ be written as ᚢ?

Scholars say Old English didn't have that sound, so it's hard to answer. We'd have to go back in time to know for sure how Futhorc users would've rendered it upon being asked to.

Many people today pronounce STRUT almost like a short PALM (FATHER) sound. So it's probably closest to ᚪ

The sound /ʌ/ wasn't present in English until the FOOT-STRUT split happened. Even now, it's still doesn't exist in some dialects.

Why did you include ᚻᚹ but not ᚻᚱ ᚻᚾ ᚻᛚ
