R: English Phonemes Help for Writing Runic English

The Cat's Claw

Writing English in Elder Futhark Runes or other graphemes, that others (Rune readers in phonetics of english) can really read and understand.


Which way do I write and read my Runes:
LTR (left to right writing) RTL (right to left writing)
What is the correct direction one writes Runic Glyphs ?

To me it seems like it should the phonemic orthography of the langue's native alphabet.

I.E. using English written phonetically in runes, write and read LTF Left to Right.

English is a non phonetic language.
Most words are not said they way there spelled, so we must convert from proper spelling, to phonetic (English 44 Phonemes) spelling. Then map the English phonemes to best choose (Elder Futhark) runic phonemes. And then you have English spelled in readable Runic.

How to Write It:

1) Write down what you want to say in English on one line double spaced.
Skip a line

2) Using Phonetic Dictionary now write Phonetic Spelling of each word under
skip 3 lines

3) Now map the English phonemes to Runic glyph phonemes.

4) note you may need to try alternative phonetic English spelling to get best match to Runic phoneme.
Example Cat, try Kat instead. the extra skipped lines gives you room to try alternative spelling.

5) See free resources listed below to help.
