Why reginn.com is the correct form
ᚱᛁᚴᛁᚾᚾ
The name in its original Younger Futhark form. ᚱᛁᚴᛁᚾᚾ → Reginn. ᚱ (reið) writes /r/ · ᛁ (ís) writes both /i/ and /e/ · ᚴ (kaun) writes both /k/ and /g/ (and the ng cluster) · The spelling rikinn is a normalized phonetic reconstruction; Younger Futhark does not distinguish voiced/voiceless stops or separate short and long vowels
REGINN
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.
