The Elder Futhark (named after the initial [[phoneme]] of the first six rune names), sometimes also called proto-Nordic (''urnordiska''), consist of twenty-four runes, often arranged in three rows of eight. The earliest known full sequential listing of the alphabet dates from ca. [[400]] and is found on the [[Kylver Stone]] in [[Gotland]].
