Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox rune Шаблон:Contains special characters The Fehu runeШаблон:Runic (Old Norse ; Old English feoh) represents the ⟨f⟩ and ⟨v⟩ sound in the Younger Futhark and Futhorc alphabets. Its name means '(mobile) wealth', cognate to English fee with the original meaning of 'sheep' or 'cattle' (Dutch Шаблон:Lang, German Шаблон:Lang, Latin Шаблон:Lang, Sanskrit Шаблон:Lang). The Proto-Germanic name Шаблон:Lang has been reconstructed, with the meaning of "money, cattle, wealth".[1]

The corresponding letter of the Gothic alphabet is ⟨𐍆⟩ ⟨f⟩, called Шаблон:Lang. Such correspondence between all rune poems and the Gothic letter name, as well, is uncommon, and gives the reconstructed name of the Old Futhark a high degree of certainty.

The shape of the rune is likely based on Etruscan v ⟨𐌅⟩ ⟨F⟩, like Greek DigammaШаблон:Lang⟩ and Latin ⟨F⟩ ultimately from Phoenician waww⟩.
