Ehwaz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  • Ehwaz

Ehwaz ( ᛖ ) is the nineteenth rune of the older Futhark with the sound value e and is missing from the Old Norse runic alphabet . The reconstructed ancient Germanic name means "horse". It appears in the rune poems as Old English e (o) h or Gothic eyz . The resemblance to a Latin M is purely coincidental.
