The Authentic Orthography
Giant, Owner of Cauldron · Dark one
Why hymir.com is the correct form
ᚼᚢᛘᛁᚱ
The name in its original Younger Futhark form. ᚼᚢᛘᛁᚱ → Hymir. ᚼ (hagall) writes /h/ · ᚢ (úr) writes the rounded back vowels /u, o, ø, ǫ, y/ and /w/ · ᛘ (maðr) writes /m/ · The spelling humir is a normalized phonetic reconstruction; Younger Futhark does not distinguish voiced/voiceless stops or separate short and long vowels
HYMIR
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.
Hymir
