My Thursday quiz was indeed about alphabets, as several of you, including
First list –
the head of an ox – Aleph – root of our letter A
a house – Beth – root of our letter B
a camel’s hump, or possibly a boomerang-like throwing stick – Gimel – root of our letters C and G
a door, or possibly a fish – Daleth – root of our letter D
jubilation, or possibly a window – He – root of our letter E
and
a hook – Waw – root of our letters F, U, V, W and Y
Second list –
money/wealth/cattle – Fehu
a wild ox or possibly water – Uruz
a monster – Thurisaz
a divine being (actually one of the Æsir, but to be that specific would have given it away) – Ansuz
and
-
– a ride or a journey – Raido (one of the few which looks like the Latin equivalent)
Third list –
the birch tree – Beith
flame or a herb, or possibly the rowan tree – Luis
the alder tree – Fern
the willow tree – Sail
a fork – Nion and
horror, or possibly the whitethorn – Uath
Thanks for playing, those of you who did!
I concur. Looks just like the autograph I got from Rob circa 1979.
