	Ligature (typography) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As the letter W is not in the Latin alphabet, the sound was originally written in various ways.
		It is a distinct letter and vowel, and keeps its place in the different alphabetic sequence of those languages, rather than coming between "ad" and "af".
		For example, in flletter, letters with right-facing bowls ("b", "o", and "p") and those with left-facing bowls ("c", "e", "o", and "q") would be written with the facing edges of the bowls superimposed.

	The Magick and Mystery of Runes
		The idea of letters having magical meaning beyond their literal meaning is not special to runes.
		Technically, the runes are not really an alphabet at all, because in a strict sense the word "alphabet" or the lesser-used "abecedary" refers to a row of characters beginning as do the Greek, Hebrew, Roman, and Gaelic, with the characters alpha and beta or their equivalents-A, B, and so on.
		Letter rows that use a different order are not alphabets in this sense, and so are called by other names.

		The additional letters added in German are special presentations of earlier ligature forms (ae → ä, ue → ü or ſss → ß).

		Nearly all the runic letters consisted of straight lines, the most prominent one a long vertical stroke called the 'staff', which means that they were adapted to the grain of wood in avoiding curves and in preventing splitting.
		The runic letters were not used for extended texts but rather for an occasional inscription and for divining purposes.
		Many of the runic inscriptions that were carved on stone or metal objects have survived, but since any runic symbols incised on wood would have long since decomposed, this use is based solely on surmise, from the cluster of words we still use today.
