The Fe rune (Old Norse ''fé''; Old English ''feoh'') represents the ''f''-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 ''Vee'', German ''Vieh'', Latin ''pecum'', Sanskrit ''pashu''). The rune derives from the unattested but reconstructed Proto-Germanic *fehu in the Elder Futhark alphabet, with the original meaning of "money, cattle, wealth".〔Page, Raymond I. (2005) ''Runes''. The British Museum Press. p. 15. ISBN 0-7141-8065-3〕 The corresponding letter of the Gothic alphabet is (unicode:𐍆) ''f'', called ''faihu''. 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'' (unicode:𐌅) , like Greek Digamma and Latin F ultimately from Phoenician waw . ==Rune poems== The name is recorded in all three rune poems: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fehu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
