But well, as long as my customers are happy with my easy way of using the runes, I'm fine with that too
@~kreativlink: While it looks nice, the nitpicker in me is begging to point out issues on the runes. Would you mind if I did?
First off, Futhark as an alphabet is based far more on phonetic sounds than spellings, so "know" would be just "NO." While that could be confusing for the reader, it's usually contextually OK or easy to replace with something like NOLEDG (nothing in Futhark makes the soft G sound, so we have to make do).
Second, Futhark is written right-to-left, not left-to-right as most modern languages (but not all) are.
Third (and this is the most extremely nitpicky): Druids were almost completely in Britain and some in France, while Futhark is a Norse alphabet, thus being from what we now know as Scandinavia. The only alphabet I've heard of druids using is Ogham, but let's face it - while highly functional, Ogham is nowhere near as visually appealing as Futhark is.
