Ansuz  A  Awn-sooze  AKA Os, Oss

This is the shape of Oss in the Anglo Saxon Futhorc.  The Ansuz rune of the Elder Futhark morphed into "Os" in the 3 remaining rune poems.


Old English

Os byþ ordfruma ælere spræce,
wisdomes wraþu ond witena frofur
eorla gehwam eadnys ond tohiht.



     The mouth is the source of all language,
     a pillar of wisdom and comfort to wise men,
     a blessing and a joy to every knight.

Norwegian

Óss er flæstra færða
fo,r; en skalpr er sværða.



     Estuary is the way of most journeys;
     but a scabbard is of swords.

Icelandic

Óss er algingautr

ok ásgarðs jöfurr,
ok valhallar vísi.
Jupiter oddviti



     God

     aged Gautr
     and prince of Ásgarðr
     and lord of Vallhalla.
