Usage notes
In earlier classic Proto-Norse, this word would have been spelled *ᚦᚨᛏ (*þat). However, by the time of the Stentoften Runestone, the ᚨ-rune (a) had shifted from representing a generic /a/ to specifically a nasal /ã/ (this use persists into the Younger Futhark reflex ᚬ, transcribed ą or o), and the oral /a/ was instead represented by the ᚼ-rune (A).
