Runes

[Vilo159]

Anyone out there interested in ancient Anglo-Saxon writing?

In rereading The Hobbit, I came across the runic writings in the map and in some other places. I'd looked into runes before and knew what they were, but this time I wanted to learn to read them. I took it to a buddy of mine who could read, and in watching him I managed to get a feel for it. From there I went to a Wiki article and read about them.

So it's still coming together, but I can safely say that I can now read and write in runes at a basic level. Can anyone else here read or write runes, or have an interest in them?

Me and Laura (Zelda) used to write notes to each other in runes during church. I've forgotten them, though. Had to make room in my brain for Japanese.

I used to be able to read & write ye olde Norse, but as with Yuki-Anne, I took a Japanese course right after and forgot everything. Speaking of which, I still want to (re?)learn Norwegian.
