    The stanzas quote the short poem “Völuspá hin skamma” (“Short Völuspá”) as reported in “Gylfaginning” in the Prose Edda. Refrains list out all the names of the runes present in Elder Futhark alphabet (which is also the alphabet I used for my transcription). Runes had a sacred use in Nordic religion: Norse sorcerers, seeresses and warlocks worked their magic with the runes and Odin himself hung to the ash Yggdrasil for nine nights to learn the secrets of the runes and gain the right to be runemaster. To every rune is associated a meaning, usually a word starting by the same letter, to which their magical power was linked. In my translation I opted for a translation of the runes’ names, instead of simply copying them, but keep in mind that most of these names can have more than one translation, and in most cases said translation is not certain [the word “rune” itself means “secret”, after all].
    Here is the full list:
    Fehu: ᚠ [f] - wealth, cattle
    Uruz: ᚢ [u/v] - rain, aurochs, dross, water
    Þurisaz: ᚦ [þ/ð] - giant
    Ansuz: ᚨ [a] - Ás god, oak, ash
    Raido: ᚱ [r] - ride (=”journey by horse”)
    Kenaz: ᚲ [k] - ulcer, maybe torch
    Gebo: ᚷ [g] - gift
    Wunjo: ᚹ [w] - joy
    Hagalaz: ᚺ/ᚻ [h] - hail
    Naudiz: ᚾ [n] - hardship, need
    Isa: ᛁ [i] - ice
    Jera: ᛃ [j] - year, harvest
    Eihwaz: ᛇ [ï/æ] - yew
    Perþo: ᛈ [p] - unknown meaning
    Algiz: ᛉ [z] - elk, yew
    Sowilo: ᛊ/ᛋ [s] - sun
    Tiwaz: ᛏ [t] - Týr
    Berkano: ᛒ [b] - birch
    Ehwaz: ᛖ [e] - horse
    Mannaz: ᛗ [m] - man, human
    Laguz: ᛚ [l] - water, waterfall, lake or leek
    Ingwaz: ᛜ/ᛝ [ŋ] - Yngvi
    Oþalaz: ᛟ [o] - heritage, estate
    Dagaz: ᛞ [d] - day
    “Valföðr” (“father of the slain”) is one of Odin’s many epithets.
    Vitkar were magicians in Norse societies, especially dedicated to runic magic.
    Any suggestion and/or observation is warmly welcome.
    The lyrics are pronounced by singer Justine Galmiche as modern Icelandic, instead of using Old Norse pronunciation: e.g. she sings “á” as the Icelandic diphthong /au/ instead of the Old Norse /a:/ or the double “l” as /tl/.

      @Peter Poulsen unity of Scandinavia? Not quite, Scandinavia was _never_ unified during the Viking era. Quite the opposite: Viking populations spread and diversified across a vast variety of places, settling down as far as Turkey, not to mention how the modern name "Russia" is derived of the word "Rus", old Finnish word for "Sweden/Swedish" (still nowadays called "Ruotsi" in Finnish). Not to mention, the whole Asatro, including the concept of Valhalla itself, is _not_ native to Scandinavia at all: it was imported by populations who migrated to Scandinavia from the Middle East, hence it's derived of Proto-Indo-European mythology and developed through Germanic folklore.

    G, X were used with the same rune (Gebo) Therefore Gebo could mean either G or X.
    V, W were one rune. (Wunjo)
    Example; Vodka (English) Wodka (German) V and W is pronounced as the same. German transcriptions of slavic words are written with W in german, while being written with V in english.
    Runes (the pronunciation and spelling) varied with the different germanic cultures and locations.
    German and English originate from the same proto-germanic language.
    This is why there are many similarities between these two languages.

      What do you mean by "purely Germanic"? If you mean it was made and used exclusively by the Germanics, this is not true. Futhark is almost certainly based and developed from Italic writing systems, especially Etruscan alphabet :en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etruscan_alphabet#Letters
      These writing systems subsequently traveled to Northern Europe on the Amber Road, where they were re-adapted to Old Norse dialect.

      european-origins.com/2020/08/18/elder-futhark/
      I just meant that the Elder Futhark writing system itself was purely Germanic because no other culture used it. Sure, Futhark could've been inspired from Estruscan or Phoenician sources, but it's set as a different writing system altogether for a reason. But hell, if you want to argue about the originality of the writing systems, we could go all the way back to cuneiform script from ancient Mesopotamia.

      Most people in the Scandinavian countries gets to learn the alphabet in school. It’s part of our education. Not everyone focuses or remember it though. But if there we are interested we can always continue to learn about it. Some words are very similar to the language we have today. So we can understand some of the words in the song even without reading or translating them. But of course, if someone doesn’t understand the Scandinavian languages it might be more difficult and requires more effort.

    Sadly, it seems its the Wrong Set of Runes for old Norse. You are using the Elder Futhark, the younger Futhark would be more fitting here. I know its harder to Read but prolly more accurate. You are also using the Rune Uruz for the V sound wich is wrong if i recall right. Wunjo would be the right Rune here i believe.

    • @FlamSparks
      @FlamSparks  Před 3 lety +2

      Well, it's not actually true that a W's sound is always a /v/, just think how it's pronounced in English. /u/ and /v/ have very borderline sounds, and in fact they share a common development in the history of many languages. F, U, V, Y and W were all written with a same letter in the Phoenician alphabet, which is one of the oldest and most influential alphabets in the European history. In Latin, the letter V originally indicated the sound /u/, while later on it came to indicate both /u/ and /v/. In phonetics, [w] corresponds neither to /u/ nor /v/: while [u] is a vowel and [v] a consonant, [w] is a semivowel. Its ambiguous nature explains why its sound keeps shifting between /u/ and /v/, and also shows why these two sounds keep exchanging place one with the other throughout the history of so many languages. Most info we have about the rune Wunjo comes from its Fuþorc descendant Wynn, which most surely had the sound of semivowel [w], so I would tend to attach the same sound to Proto-Norse. This being said, it's true that Old Norse might have originally used the letter V to indicate the sound /w/, since the sound /v/ came later (especially from intervocalic /b/) and Old Norse didn't use the letter W. So you might be right on that.
