16 supplied Short-twig runes signs in a focused writing-system course, with original readings, rune names and available meaning notes.
Short-twig runes are a variant of Younger Futhark. Compare their simplified shapes with the corresponding readings, rather than treating every visual difference as a new sound.
Learn the sign shapes and compare their supplied names, readings and meaning notes. This is a script-recognition course, not a complete language or inscription-reading curriculum.
How to practice
Look at each rune and its reading, trace the shape, then test recognition and production. Study one inventory at a time before comparing it with the other rune courses.
Read these examples freely without an account. In the app you can preview lessons, study a private copy and progress through the course one lesson at a time.
