How to write Pearl” in the Younger Futhark
Compared to the 24 individual runes of the Elder Futhark, the Younger Futhark contains only sixteen individual runes. This limited set of rune symbols means every one of the runes of the Younger Futhark must be used somewhat creatively to represent our today’s English letters.

NOTE: Neither Elder nor Younger Futhark runes were meant to be used for contemporary English terms like “Pearl”. So there’s no 100% right way of writing twenty-first century English sounds with runes, which were conceived centuries earlier, and used to represent different languages and dialects. On top of that, we don’t really have any idea how Elder Futhark runes were pronounced in ancient Europe, especially when you add in the fact that runes were used widely by multiple cultures across ancient Europe — and across a timeframe of several centuries. The best we can do is to approximate some of our phonetics using the ancient phonetics that we think apply most closely.
