This article contains runic characters. Without proper rendering support, you may see question marks, boxes, or other symbols instead of runes.

The d rune (ᛞ) is called dæg "day" in the Anglo-Saxon rune poem. The corresponding letter of the Gothic alphabet 𐌳 d is called dags. This rune is also part of the Elder Futhark, with a reconstructed Proto-Germanic name *dagaz.

Its "butterfly" shape is possibly derived from Lepontic san.[1] The rune may have been an original innovation, or it may have been adapted from the Rhaetic's alphabet's D.[2]

Rune poems

[edit]

The name is only recorded in the Anglo-Saxon rune poem, since the rune was lost in the Younger Futhark:

Rune Poem:[3] English Translation:

Anglo-Saxon
ᛞ Dæg bẏþ drihtnes sond, deore mannum,
mære metodes leoht, mẏrgþ and tohiht
eadgum and earmum, eallum brice.


Day, the glorious light of the Creator, is sent by the Lord;
it is beloved of men, a source of hope and happiness to rich and poor,
and of service to all.

Inscriptions

[edit]

On runic inscription Ög 43 in Ingelstad, one Dagaz rune is translated using the Old Norse word for "day" as the personal name Dagr.[4]
