Scholarly reference for Höðr
ᚼᚢᚦᚱ
The name in its original Younger Futhark form. ᚼᚢᚦᚱ → Höðr. ᚼ (hagall) writes /h/ · ᚢ (úr) writes the rounded back vowels /u, o, ø, ǫ, y/ and /w/ · ᚦ (þurs) writes both þ and ð · The spelling huþr is a normalized phonetic reconstruction; Younger Futhark does not distinguish voiced/voiceless stops or separate short and long vowels
