Phonetically consistent English

(And in fact the characters could also represent those words.) E.g. the rune with the “m” sound was “man,” and you could use the letter both as the “m” sound and to represent the word.

Most phonetic scripts are like this: exceptions are usually derived scripts (e.g. Phoenician → Greek → Roman → English) where this relationship is lost.
