Reith

Also known as ᚱ

Raidō "ride" (by extension "journey, wagon etc") is the reconstructed Proto-Germanic name of the r- rune of the Elder Futhark . The name is attested for the same rune in all three rune poems, Old Norwegian Ræið Icelandic Reið, Anglo-Saxon Rad, as well as for the corresponding letter of the Gothic alphabet 𐍂 r, called raida. The shape of the rune may be directly derived from Latin R.

Reith o reið, que significa "cabalgar, viaje", es el nombre en nórdico antiguo de la runa equivalente a la letra r. Su forma derivaría directamente de la letra R del alfabeto latino. Corresponde con la letra del alfabeto gótico 𐍂 llamada raida. La reconstrucción lingüística en protonórdico para el nombre de esta letra del futhark antiguo, ᚱ, es *raiðō.
