[gothic-l] Turkish Runes

[hrafnsnest]

Hail All!

  Another argument against a Turkish origin is the fact that one
scholar trys to point out that the ending of the elder futhark
(moving backwards) spells out the name of O.d.in(g).  The problem
here is the fact that the name Odhinn did not have that form in the
elder period, his name would have been rendered >Wodanaz, the former
being from the later "younger" period.
  Myself, I lean toward an Etruscan / (H)erulian connection to the
origin of the runic form, not the concepts the runes represent.
Froedhisk ulfr i skogi,
