These are the rules concerning transliteration in Proto-Norse entries.
Proto-Norse was written with runes, specifically with the Elder Futhark. These are transliterated on Wiktionary as follows:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ᚠ | ᚢ | ᚦ | ᚨ | ᚱ | ᚲ,ᚴ | ᚷ | ᚹ | ᚺ | ᚾ | ᛁ | ᛃ,ᚼ,ᛋ | ᛇ | ᛈ | ᛉ,ᛦ | ᛊ,ᛋ | ᛏ | ᛒ | ᛖ | ᛗ | ᛚ | ᛜ | ᛟ | ᛞ |
| f | u,ū | þ | a,ā | r | k | g | w | h | n | i,ī | j,A¹ | ï | p | z,ʀ¹ | s | t,nt | b | e,ē | m | l | ŋ | o,ō | d,nd |
¹ Only in late, transitional period, inscriptions
Some notes and additional rules:
- When transliterating runic text, bold type is used.[1]
- Macrons are written above vowels if they are long.
- Apart from their regular values, vowels can also be svarabhakti vowels. In this case, they are transliterated as superscript letters.
