The Old English Alphabet was borrowed from Latin, but there were also some letters that were borrowed from the Runic Alphabet:

? (“thorn”) = [q] and [ð]

? (“wynn”) = [w]

? (“mann”) = stood for OE word “man”

? (“dæζ”) = stood for OE word “day”

Some new letters were introduced:

ζ = [g] and [j];

ð/þ/Đ/đ = [q] and [ð];

æ = a ligature of [a] and [e];

œ = a ligature of [o] and [e].

Rules of Reading:

They resemble the modern rules, with several exceptions though:

f = [v] --- 1. between vowels;

s = [z] 2. between a vowel and a voiced consonant ( [r, m, n, l, d, etc.] ).

ð/þ = [ð]

ζ – [j] – between and after front vowels ( [e, i, æ] );

– [g] – initially and between back vowels ( [a, o, u] ).

cζ = [gg].

c = [k].

n = [ŋ] when fallowed by [k] or [g].
