Scholarly reference for Thrúd
ᚦᚱᚢᚦᚱ
The name in its original Younger Futhark form. ᚦᚱᚢᚦᚱ → Thrúd. ᚦ (þurs) writes both þ and ð · ᚱ (reið) writes /r/ · ᚢ (úr) writes the rounded back vowels /u, o, ø, ǫ, y/ and /w/ · The spelling þruþr is a normalized phonetic reconstruction; Younger Futhark does not distinguish voiced/voiceless stops or separate short and long vowels
THRUD
Stripped of its identity, the name was reduced to plain Latin letters. The original orthography — stress, length, breathing — was erased by systems that only understand A-Z.
