    The Odal rune represents the o sound and was used in the Elder Futhark from the 3rd to 8th centuries. Its name comes from the Proto-Germanic word "ōþalan" meaning inheritance or estate. In Anglo-Saxon Futhorc, the Odal rune took on the œ phoneme and was called "ēðel". While it disappeared from Scandinavian Younger Futhark, it survived into Old English. Modern uses have included misappropriation by Nazi and white supremacist groups, as well as appropriate uses in Germanic neopaganism and Ukrainian merchant marines.

    The Elder Futhark Odal rune (), also known as the 'Othala' rune, represents the o sound.
    Its reconstructed Proto-Germanic name is *alan "heritage; inheritance, inherited estate".
    It was in use for epigraphy during the 3rd to the 8th centuries. It is not continued in the
    Younger Futhark, disappearing from the Scandinavian record around the 6th century, but it
    survived in the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc, and expressed the Old English phoneme during the
    7th and 8th centuries. Its name is attested as el in the Anglo-Saxon manuscript tradition.
    The rune is encoded in Unicode at codepoint U+16DF:

    Name and etymology
    Further information: Ethel
    The Common Germanic stem ala- or ila- "inherited estate" is an ablaut variant of the
    stem aal-. It consists of a root a- and a suffix -ila- or -ala-. The suffix variant accounts
    for the umlauted form el. Germanic aal- had a meaning of (approximately) "nobility",
    and the derivation aala- could express "lineage, (noble) race, descent, kind", and thus
    "nobleman, prince" (whence Old English atheling), but also "inheritance, inherited estate,
    property, possession". Its etymology is not clear, but it is usually compared to atta "father"
    (c.f. the name Attila, ultimately baby talk for "father").
    The term oal (Old High German uodal) is a formative element in some Germanic names,
    notably Ulrich and variants; , the stem aal is more frequent, found in Gothic names such
    as Athalaric, Ataulf, etc. and in Old High German names such as Adalbert,
    [1]

    Unrelated, but difficult to separate etymologically,
    [clarification needed]
    is the root aud- "wealth,
    property, possession, prosperity";
    [2]
    from this root are names such as Edmund and other
    English names with the ed prefix (from Old English ead), German Otto and various
    Germanic names beginning with ed- or od-. Possibly related is eua, euu a word for
    "child, offspring" (attested in Old Norse j, and possibly in the name of the Iuthungi).
    Odal was associated with the concept of inheritance in ancient Scandinavian property law.
    Some of these laws are still in effect today, and govern Norwegian property. These are the
    setesrett (homestead right), and the Odelsrett (allodial right).


    Elder Futhark o-rune
    The o-rune is attested early, in inscriptions from the 3rd century, such as the Thorsberg
    chape (DR7) and the Vimose planer (Vimose-Hvelen, DR 206). The letter is derived from
    a Raetian variant of the letter O
    [citation needed]
    . The corresponding Gothic letter is (derived
    from Greek ), which had the name oal.
    [citation needed]

    Wolfgang Krause (1964) has speculated that the o rune is used as an ideograph denoting
    possession in the Thorsberg chape inscription. The inscription has owluewaz, read by
    Krause as O[ila] - W[u]lu-ewaz "inherited property - the servant of Wuluz".
    [3]

    The odal rune is found in some transitional inscriptions of the 6th or 7th century, such as
    the Gummarp, Bjrketorp and Stentoften runestones, but it disappears from the
    Scandinavian record by the 8th century. The Old Norse o phoneme is now written in
    Younger Futhark with the same letter as the u phoneme, the Ur rune.
    Anglo-Saxon -rune
    The Anglo-Saxon runes preserve the full set of 24 Elder Futhark runes (besides introducing
    innovations), but in some cases these runes are given new sound values due to Anglo-
    Frisian sound changes. The odal rune is such a case: the o sound in the Anglo-Saxon
    system is now expressed by s , a derivation of the old Ansuz rune; the odal rune is now
    known as el (with umlaut due to the form ila-) and is used to express an sound, but
    is attested only rarely in epigraphy (outside of simply appearing in a futhark row).
    Epigraphical attestations include:
    the Frisian Westeremden yew-stick, possibly as part of a given name Wimod
    (Wimd)
    the Harford (Norfolk) brooch, dated c. 650, in a finite verb form: luda:gibtsigil
    "Luda repaired the brooch"
    the left panel of the Franks Casket, twice: twgen gibror afdd hi wylif "two
    brothers (scil. Romulus and Remus), a she-wolf nourished them".
    The Anglo-Saxon rune poem preserves the meaning "an inherited estate" for the rune name:
    by oferleof ghwylcum
    men,
    gif he mot r rihtes and
    gerysena on
    brucan on bolde bleadum
    [An estate] is very dear to every man,
    if he can enjoy there in his house
    whatever is right and proper in constant
    prosperity.
