Why brokkr.com is the correct form
ᛒᚱᚢᚴᚴᚱ
The name in its original Younger Futhark form. ᛒᚱᚢᚴᚴᚱ → Brokkr. ᛒ (bjarkan) writes both /b/ and /p/ · ᚱ (reið) writes /r/ · ᚢ (úr) writes the rounded back vowels /u, o, ø, ǫ, y/ and /w/ · The spelling brukkr is a normalized phonetic reconstruction; Younger Futhark does not distinguish voiced/voiceless stops or separate short and long vowels
