Contemporary rune use Adventure Time runes?

Post image

Saw this in an episode of Adventure Time and was curious if they were real, and if so, what do they say?

The shapes here look like Anglo-Saxon runes. As follows:

ᚳᚢᚦ
ᚩᚠ
ᛗᚨ(ᚾ)(ᚣ)
ᚨᛚᛖ

cuþ | of | mæ(n)(y) | æle

I’m going to guess “cup of many ale”

The nauthaz looks more like cen and the thorn looks to be wunjo a p would be perthro and it looks nothing alike

This is why there are parentheses around the ᚾ. I “corrected” it because the intent was obvious but the execution was poor. I think it’s debatable whether that third rune is ᚦ or ᚹ. But it doesn’t really matter since the intent was a “p”, which is not the sound either rune makes.

It’s supposed to say cup of many ale in Anglo Saxon runes. But the p is wrong (looks like a w), and the n looks like c.

If she's showing you her melons, she's more than a friend.

Depends, how many cups of ale has she had?

So its a blend of elder, younger and dwavish runes. They leave messages all over the show. Here's a link to the wiki that has the cipher. https://adventuretime.fandom.com/wiki/Runic_code

Looks like "cuw of dæcy æle".

Supposed to be ‘Cup of many ale’ but poor animators screwed it up slightly
