Noun

vend (plural vends)

1. The letter Ꝩ/ꝩ, used in Old Norse, related to the rune wynn (ᚹ, whence also Latin-script Ƿ/ƿ) but with the bowl open at the top, like a y.
   • 1874, Richard Cleasby, Gudbrand Vigfusson, An Icelandic-English Dictionary, page 707:

     [...] a gramm. term, implying the use of the old letter 'vend' in spelling v-rungu, v-rangr, v-reiðr, see introduction to letter R; ...

   • 2005, Diana L. Paxson, Taking Up The Runes: A Complete Guide To Using Runes In Spells, Rituals, Divination, And Magic, Weiser Books (→ISBN), page 88:

     In Old English, the meaning of wynn is the same. In Old Norse, the etymological equivalents of words beginning with w are spelled with a v, the letter named “vend” in the Icelandic alphabet.
