| | Fehu |
 | | Rune Ar of the Younger Futhark also plays this role perfectly, so I don’t see why Fehu should be Frey's rune, except due to an error of reasoning which I will now explain. |
 | | Since the last two names refer obviously to the first rune of the aett, the same "must" hold also for the first one (at least many people seem to have thought so), hence Frey had to be associated to rune Fehu at this time. |
 | | Fehu is the rune of the cattle, the primitive non aggressive animal force, wealth, with all nega-tive aspects of the wealth, but also the internal wealth that is the best aid against distress. |
