#Almost certainly velar [x], not glottal [h], the evidence for such comes from the descendants, which still pronounce it as such. It seems that original [ɣ] became [g] early on, then /x/ gained [ɣ] as an allophone, though due to the nature /x~h/ in Germanic languages, this is incredibly rare. | |||

Early Pre-Húsnorsk (Pre-10th century) was mainly written in a variant of the Elder Futhark. This alphabet had many of the same problems as Old Norse in the Younger Futhark, especially regarding vowels, though it did create a distinction between oral and nasal vowels. This distinction was achieved through "binding" (ligaturing) the n rune (ᚾ, which was often written with a horizontal branch rather than the diagonal one) to the appropriate vowel rune, as in "[[File:phus an rune.jpg|24x20px|class=skin-invert]]" (modern example handwritten on paper), the rune used for "ą". | Early Pre-Húsnorsk (Pre-10th century) was mainly written in a variant of the Elder Futhark.

The most common solution we do see is binding the e or o rune onto a or o. The same way the Latin script uses "æ, œ, ꜵ", so do early Húsnorsk runes. (images will come later) | ||
