then ior is inserted before a character which resembles oethel, 
and the value oe assigned to it. The next four are in the 
usual sequence ; then two characters resembling gifii, each 
with the value g in place of ior ; then querth, stan, calc, oethel 
(of the usual form) ; then the rune which stands for peorth in 
the last cited futhorc, and four others. These are undoubtedly- 
English, the two following I regard as of Continental origin. 
{h.) MS. of Isidorus, at Brussels, 155. This much resembles 
(a), but the characters which represent ing and oedil are inter- 
changed, and the names of the characters seem to belong to a 
Continental dialect. Unfortunately, this is imperfect at the 
end. 
(e.) MS. at S. Gallen, 270. The characters which compose 
this futhorc occur as an alphabet in the MS. 878 above 
referred to, and, as that alphabet is followed by the futhorc (^), 
which for distinction is called " Anguliscum," it seems clear 
to me that this alphabet and the futhorc in 270 is something 
other than " Anguliscum ; " that it belongs to some other 
branch of the Teutonic stock. A MS. at Munich, 14436, 
contains an alphabet arranged from the same futhorc, and 
from this and the alphabet in 878 we obtain invaluable 
assistance towards the illustration and correction of this 
futhorc. 
(1) . Both alphabets give the 3rd rune in the usual form 
with the name dorn; in the S. Gallen MS. it is followed by 
the 8th, huun (on account of the resemblance in form). 
(2) . The futhorc and the alphabets agree in the peculiar 
form of the 7th and 14th runes ; the latter almost identical 
with the queorth of Galba, A. 2. 
(3) . The S. Gallen alphabet gives the 12th rune as a second 
form of g ; the Munich has the usual form of calc with the 
name ker as a second form of k. 
(4) . Both alphabets give the 13th as a k, the latter with the 
name ki.
