Usage notes
In earlier Proto-Norse, such as the language at the time of the Golden Horns of Gallehus, this word was spelled ᚦᚨᛏ (þat), as on the By stone (KJ71; NIæR6). However, by the time of the Stentoften Runestone, the ᚨ-rune (a) had moved from a generic /a/ to specifically a nasalized /ã/ (this sound value persists into the Old Norse reflex ᚬ, transcribed ą or o), and the regular /a/ was instead represented by the ᚼ-rune (A).
