Transform latin letters to Elder Futhark runes & vice versa
This library has been discontinued in favor of Riimut. It contains same functionality for all main runic dialects. This library will also remain available in NPM and should keep working just fine.
Other runic alphabets:
yarn add elder-futhark
You can either transform runes to text, or text to runes.
Latin text to runes:
import { lettersToRunes } from 'elder-futhark'
// Proto-norse text from 4th century axe in Jutland
const result = lettersToRunes('wagagastiz alu wihgu sikijaz aiþalataz')
console.log(result) // ᚹᚨᚷᚨᚷᚨᛋᛏᛁᛉ:ᚨᛚᚢ:ᚹᛁᚻᚷᚢ:ᛋᛁᚲᛁᛃᚨᛉ:ᚨᛁᚦᚨᛚᚨᛏᚨᛉRunes to latin text:
import { runesToLetters } from 'elder-futhark'
const result = runesToLetters('ᚠᚢᚦᚨᚱᚲ')
console.log(result) // fuþarkThe Elder Futhark, also known as the Older Futhark, is the oldest form of the runic alphabets. It was a writing system used by Germanic peoples for Northwest Germanic dialects in the Migration Period. It was used to write Proto-Norse language, predecessor of Old Norse.
In Scandinavia it later evolved to simplified Younger Futhark.
