[QUOTE="Cheiromancer, post: 329348, member: 141"] Sounds like a rune. I doubt this will appear properly, but if you hit "quote" you can see it in monospace font: [list] |\ /| | \ / | GMC dagaz day | \ / | GO dags day | / \ | OE daeg day | / \ | ON dogr day (not in Younger Futhark) |/ \| Phonetic value "d" and voiced "th" as in "then" [/list] Here's what I found on the internet about it: Dagaz refers to the a day, a period of darkness and light, since the Norse counted their days from evening to evening, with the mid-point being dawn and the rising of the sun.
