The Ear ᛠ rune of the Anglo-Saxon futhorc is a late addition to the alphabet. Futhorc, a Runic alphabet used by the Anglo-Saxons, was descended from the Elder Futhark of 24 runes and contained between 26 and 33 characters In Computing, Unicode is an Industry standard allowing Computers to consistently represent and manipulate text expressed in most of the world's The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA is a system of phonetic notation based on the Latin alphabet, devised by the International Phonetic Futhorc, a Runic alphabet used by the Anglo-Saxons, was descended from the Elder Futhark of 24 runes and contained between 26 and 33 characters It is, however, still attested from epigraphical evidence, notably the Thames scramasax, and its introduction thus cannot postdate the 9th century. The Thames Scramasax is a 9th century weapon recovered from the Thames at Battersea, London The 9th century is the period from 801 to 900 in accordance with the Julian calendar in the Christian / Common Era. It is transliterated as ea, and the Anglo-Saxon rune poem glosses it as
- ᛠ byþ egle eorla gehwylcun, / ðonn[e] fæstlice flæsc onginneþ, / hraw colian, hrusan ceosan / blac to gebeddan; bleda gedreosaþ,/ wynna gewitaþ, wera geswicaþ. The Rune Poems are three poems that list the letters of Runic alphabets while providing an explanatory poetic stanza for each letter
- " The ear is horrible to every knight, / when the corpse quickly begins to cool / and is laid in the bosom of the dark earth. / Prosperity declines, happiness passes away / and covenants are broken. "
suggesting a meaning of "grave". The name ear may originally just echo ior, the name of the rune just preceding it, itself derived from ger "year, harvest".
However, Jacob Grimm in his 1835 Teutonic Mythology attached a deeper significance to the name. Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm ( Hanau, January 4, 1785 &ndash September 20, 1863 in Berlin) German Philologist He notes that the ear rune is simply a Tyr rune with two barbs attached to it and suggests that Tir and Ear, Old High German Zio and Eor, were two names of the same god. He finds the name in the toponym of Eresburg (*Eresberc) in Westphalia, in Latin Mons martis. Obermarsberg, previously Eresburg, is one of seventeen quarters in the municipality of Marsberg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Westphalia (Westfalen) is a region in Germany, centred on the cities of Bielefeld, Bochum, Dortmund, Gelsenkirchen, Münster Grimm thus suggests that the Germans had adopted the name of Greek Ares as an epithet of their god of war, and Eresberc was literally an Areopagus. In Greek mythology, Ares ( Ancient Greek:, Μodern Greek Άρης) is the son of Zeus and Hera. This article concerns the place where a classical judicial body met [1]
