RUNES - ANGLO SAXON RUNES Among the most widely used of Runes are those of the Anglo-Saxon alphabet, which was derived from the Germanic runes - especially those used in Schleswig-Holstein. By the tenth century, these consisted of 33 sigils, or signs, each of which is given here. The runes on the famous runic casket of Auzon are derived from this series [images of this runes-casket are archived in the Charles Walker Collection]. Although the runes, and their names, changed slightly through the several centuries of their use, the most commonly used names (corresponding to the runes reproduced here) are as follows: FEOH UR TORN OS RAD CEN GYFU WYNN HAGL NYD IS yER EOH PEORT EOLX SIGEL TIR BEORC EOH ING MAN LAGU DAG EPEL AC ASK YR EAR IOR WEORT CALC STAN GAR
