Not to be confused with Radio.

*RaidÅ "ride, journey" is the reconstructed Proto-Germanic name of the r- rune of the Elder Futhark áš±. The name is attested for the same rune in all three rune poems, Old Norwegian RÃ¦iÃ° Icelandic ReiÃ°, Anglo-Saxon Rad, as well as for the corresponding letter of the Gothic alphabet ð‚ r, called raida. The shape of the rune may be directly derived from Latin R.

Rune Poem:^[1]	English Translation:
Old Norwegian áš± RÃ¦iÃ° kveÃ°a rossom vÃ¦sta; Reginn slÃ³ svÃ¦rÃ°et bÃ¦zta.	Riding is said to be the worst thing for horses; Reginn forged the finest sword.
Old Icelandic áš± ReiÃ° er sitjandi sÃ¦la ok snÃºÃ°ig ferÃ° ok jÃ³rs erfiÃ°i. iter rÃ¦sir.	Riding is of sitting a blessing and swift journey and horses toiling
Anglo-Saxon áš± Rad byÃ¾ on recyde rinca gehwylcum sefte ond swiÃ¾hwÃ¦t, Ã°amÃ°e sitteÃ¾ on ufan meare mÃ¦genheardum ofer milpaÃ¾as.	Riding seems easy to every warrior while he is indoors and very courageous to him who traverses the high-roads on the back of a stout horse.
