The Authentic Orthography
Giant, Brother of Suttungr · Ring-shaped
Why baugi.com is the correct form
ᛒᛅᚢᚴᛁ
The name in its original Younger Futhark form. ᛒᛅᚢᚴᛁ → Baugi. ᛒ (bjarkan) writes both /b/ and /p/ · ᛅ (ár) writes /a/, /á/ and /æ/ · ᚢ (úr) writes the rounded back vowels /u, o, ø, ǫ, y/ and /w/ · The spelling bauki is a normalized phonetic reconstruction; Younger Futhark does not distinguish voiced/voiceless stops or separate short and long vowels
BAUGI
Stripped of its identity, the name was reduced to plain Latin letters. The original orthography — stress, length, breathing — was erased by systems that only understand A-Z.
