The Elder Futhark translator

A name is built sound by sound: a rune stands for a sound of a language spoken two thousand years ago, not for a letter of your alphabet. Type a name below and watch it fall apart into sounds. Where a letter can go two ways, both runes wait for your choice. Where the row never wrote a sound, the gap says so. You can come close, and close is the honest word for it.
