"Not extinct," Di grinned. "Extinct for muggles, though. But good answer. Out-of-the-box."

OOC: That's SS canon. Term twenty-two.

"Uruz is 'U,'" Di corrected pleasantly. "N is Ingwaz. But yes, Uruz is a part of the Elder Futhark."

Maybe she should read more often, things that weren't related to Harry potter, that is. But she stillt hought the marshmallow idea was spurring her on. Or maybe just competition.

"Good answers," Di said. "Uruz is commonly taken to mean 'wild ox.' It is recorded in all three Rune Poems, but each mentions it differently - hence the rune's alternate connections to ore and rainwater. The general symbol is the auroch, an animal that is believed by muggles, to be extinct."

She tapped the chalkboard another time. "It looks like the Eagles have the lead, now."

"Our next rune is... Thurisaz."
