Raidô

From Open Encyclopedia

(Redirected from Reidh)

Raidô "ride, journey" is the suggested Proto-Germanic name of the r-rune of the Elder Futhark ᚱ. The name is attested for the same rune in all three rune poems, Norwegian Ræið Icelandic Reið, Anglo-Saxon Rad, as well as for the corresponding letter of the Gothic alphabet 𐍂 r, called raida. The shape of the rune may be directly derived from Latin R.
