    Oy! All you guys want two!

    S'fine. I love names, so multiple names is just always good with me.

    This one came together much more easily than I expected. You could put that downward angled line on the left instead of the right, it makes Hagalaz just the same either way.

    Ah, now here we get interesting. There isn't technically a Y. Jera is used for Y. Now, this means your rune has Jera twice. This means symmetry and fantastic. A double Jera is going to look awesome...now I need to make it.

    Ok, I came out with two, and I really like both of them. Jera is one of the most interesting runes.

    Funny...four letter initials, and they're four of the simplest runes. If I really combined them, this could be smaller than most of the others here. Although many of them would be obscured and combined within other runes if I did that, and that's not the point!

    Isa: Challenge, a standstill

    K:

    Kenaz: Vision, Knowledge, Creativity, Harnessed power

    W:

    Wunjo: Joy, Comfort, Pleasure, Recognition of worth



    AS is awkward. Ansuz and Sowilo really just don't line up well together at all.

    Now, there is no C, in Futhark. There are two alternatives, depending on pronunciation, as it is phonetic, Kenaz (K) and Sowilo (S). So, tell me which way it's pronounced, and I'll use the more accurate one. (If it's Ch, then it's best approximated by K-J, so I'm not sure what to do in that case. I guess I'd use a subtle Kenaz and Jera, seeing as Kenaz is already part of Jera that's easy enough.)

    KM on the other hand, I can do!

    So, I made two bindrunes here. The first is JDS, and the second is JDR, or also JDS because Sowilo can be done in a second way (see the spoiler). The second doesn't interweave as nicely as some, but I like the fact that it can be both JDR or JDS.
