Di placed the tip of her wand on the student's finger, removing it once it had been healed. "There you go," she said, pleasantly.

"The Latin alphabet as we know it today, came after the Elder Futhark," Di explained, cheerfully. "The shape of the reconstructed Proto-Germanic r-rune - that's Raido! - is, however, believed to be a derivative of the Latin R, yes."

Maybe if she answered enough she'd get it, although she knew it would make her hyper.

"Raidho is the Traveller's Rune, I believe?" she would have liked to elaborate, but couldn't think of anything else to say about it.

She hoped that that last part wasn't too obvious. Oh, a Syltherin student had beaten her to that answer...she flipped through her notes a little more looking for some more information to offer. "Raido is also the corresponding letter of the Gothic alphabet 'r', called raida." Kurumi was very happy that she had read ahead and taken notes.

Di beamed. "Correct, all of you," she confirmed. "Raido is often known as 'the traveller's rune.' It represents ride, change, quests and journey, and is recorded in all three Rune Poems."

She tapped the chalkboard, again. "Three houses, tied!"

Digging into a small runes-bag, Di held up a rune. "Let's see who's going to be the first to guess the name of this rune, correctly!"
