Instead , the indeclinable countersign þe is used , often preceded by ( or replaced by ) the

first written in rune , using the futhorc—a runic letter set derived from the Germanic 24-
character elder futhark , extended by five Sir Thomas More rune used to symbolize Anglo-
Saxon vowel phone and sometimes by several more than extra theatrical role .From around
the 8th 100 , the runic system came to be supplanted by a ( lower-case letter ) half-uncial
handwriting of the Latin first principle introduced by Irish whiskey Christian
missionary .This was replaced by Insular playscript , a longhand and direct interpretation of
the half-uncial script .This was used until the remainder of the twelfth hundred when
Continental Carolingian minuscule ( also known as Caroline ) replaced the insular .The Latin
rudiment of the prison term still lacked the alphabetic character ⟨j ⟩ and ⟨w ⟩ , and there was
no ⟨v⟩ as clear-cut from ⟨u⟩ ; moreover native Old English people spellings did not apply
⟨k⟩ , ⟨q⟩ or ⟨z⟩ .The remaining 20 Latin letter were supplemented by four Sir Thomas More :
⟨æ⟩ ( æsc , Modern ash tree ) and ⟨ð⟩ ( ðæt , now called eth or edh ) , which were modified
Latin alphabetic character , and irritant ⟨þ⟩ and wynn ⟨ƿ⟩ , which are adoption from the
futhorc .A few varsity letter yoke were used as digram , representing a I auditory
sensation .Also used was the Tironian bill ⟨⁊⟩ ( a grapheme similar to the finger's breadth
7 ) for the junction and .A park scribal abbreviation was a thorn with a apoplexy ⟨ꝥ⟩ , which
was used for the pronoun þæt .Macrons over vowel sound were originally used not to
stigmatize tenacious vowel sound ( as in Bodoni variant ) , but to betoken focus , or as
abbreviations for a be MiB or n.Modern edition of Old English people manuscripts generally
infix some extra conventionality .The innovative course of Latin letter of the alphabet are
used , including ⟨g⟩ in seat of the insular grand , ⟨s⟩ for long reciprocal ohm , and others
which may take issue considerably from the insular hand , notably ⟨e ⟩ , ⟨f ⟩ and ⟨r⟩ .Macrons
are used to signal long vowel sound , where usually no distinction was made between
prospicient and abruptly vowel in the archetype .( In some one-time edition an incisive
speech pattern bull's eye was used for consistence with Old Northman rule . )Additionally ,
Modern variation often distinguish between velar and palatalised ⟨c ⟩ and ⟨g⟩ by placing dit
above the palatals : ⟨ċ ⟩ , ⟨ġ ⟩ .The alphabetic character wynn ⟨ƿ⟩ is usually replaced with ⟨w⟩ ,
but æsc , eth and spikelet are normally retained ( except when eth is replaced by
spikelet ) .In dividing line with modern font English language writing system , that of Old
side was reasonably habitue , with a mostly predictable proportionateness between varsity
letter and phonemes .There were not usually any soundless letters—in the password cniht ,
for object lesson , both the ⟨c⟩ and ⟨h⟩ were pronounced , unlike the ⟨k ⟩ and ⟨gh ⟩ in the
modern font horse .The take after board lists the Old English language letters and digraphs
together with the phonemes they represent , using the Saame annotation as in the
phonology division above .Doubled consonants are geminated ; the geminate fricatives
⟨ðð⟩/⟨þþ⟩ , ⟨ff⟩ and ⟨ss⟩ can not make up voiced .== lit == The principal sum of Old English
people lit is small-scale but still meaning , with some 400 surviving holograph .The pagan
and Christian flow mingle in Old English language , one of the productive and most
important body of literature preserved among the other Germanic peoples .In his
supplemental clause to the 1935 posthumous variant of Bright 's Old English proofreader ,
MD St. James the Apostle Hulbert writes : In such historic atmospheric condition , an
incalculable total of the Ketubim of the Old English period perished .What they contained ,
how of import they were for an sympathy of literature before the subjugation , we have no
agency of knowing : the light catalog of monk program library do not facilitate us , and there
are no computer address in extant piece of work to former authorship .... How incomplete
our textile are can constitute illustrated by the long-familiar fact that , with few and
relatively insignificant elision , all extant Old English verse is preserved in four
holograph .Some of the most important surviving deeds of Old side literature are Beowulf ,
an epic poem ; the Anglo-Saxon story , a disk of early on English people story ; the
wienerwurst coffin , an grave other baleen artefact ; and Cædmon 's hymn , a Christian
spiritual verse form .
