An alternative name for the Futhark, the ancient runic alphabet used by Germanic peoples.
From the first letters of the runic alphabet (F-U-TH-A-R-K), which spelled out the word like 'alphabet' does in English. This naming pattern is ancient Germanic.
Futharc is a linguistic pun built into history—ancient peoples named their entire writing system after its first six letters, just like we say 'alphabet,' but they did it with an actual meaningful runic word!
