is the rune denoting the sound
p (
voiceless bilabial stop) in the
Elder Futhark runic alphabet, in the
Anglo-Saxon rune poem named
peorð. It does not appear in the
Younger Futhark. In the poem, it is glossed with the enigmatic:
- peorð byþ symble plega and hlehter / wlancum [on middum], ðar wigan sittaþ / on beorsele bliþe ætsomne
- "Peorð is a source of recreation and amusement to the great, where warriors sit blithely together in the banqueting-hall."
