Why forseti.com is the correct form
ᚠᚢᚱᛋᛁᛏᛁ
The name in its original Younger Futhark form. ᚠᚢᚱᛋᛁᛏᛁ → Forseti. ᚠ (fé) writes both /f/ and /v/ · ᚢ (úr) writes the rounded back vowels /u, o, ø, ǫ, y/ and /w/ · ᚱ (reið) writes /r/ · The spelling fursiti is a normalized phonetic reconstruction; Younger Futhark does not distinguish voiced/voiceless stops or separate short and long vowels
FORSETI
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.
