Hwair
Hwair (also ', ', ') is the name of , the Gothic letter expressing the sound (reflected in English by the inverted ''wh''-spelling for ). Hwair is also the name of the Latin ligature (capital ) used to transcribe Gothic. ==Name== The name of the Gothic letter is recorded by Alcuin in Codex Vindobonensis 795 as ''uuaer''. The meaning of the name ' was probably "cauldron, pot"〔cognate with Sanskrit ' "pot"); see e.g. Karl Ljungstedt, ''Anmärkningar till det starka preteritum i germanska språk'' (1887), p. 165. Hans Jensen, 00Die Schrift in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart, 1935, p. 38 ''Kratylos'' vol. 1-2, 1956, p. 175.〕 (cf. ' "skull").〔Mark 15:22 ' = "Golgatha".〕 There was no Elder Futhark rune for the phoneme, so that unlike those of most Gothic letters, the name does not continue the name of a rune (but see ''qairþra'').
