A pencil drawing of a dagger and a ᛟ Odal rune.
Othala (ᛟ), also known as ēðel and odal, is a rune that represents the o and œ phonemes in the Elder Futhark and the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc writing systems respectively. Its name is derived from the reconstructed Proto-Germanic *ōþala- “heritage; inheritance, inherited estate”.
The Odal rune was also used as the insIgnia of ethnic Germans (Volksdeutsche) of the 7th ΣΣ Volunteer Mountain Division Prinz Eugen. The unit was given the title Prinz Eugen after Prince Eugene of Savoy, an outstanding military leader of the Habsburg Empire who liberated the Banat and Belgrade from the Ottoman Empire in the Austro-Turkish War of 1716–18.
Othala is a rune of heritage, homeland and family.
