Oh! So professor had wanted the literal meaning of the word, 'rune'! And Ira had given the answer to what a rune was.

Then when asked the next question, Ira thought about it. The basic information hat she knew about it had already been given by others. So what could she add more? Whatever it was, Ira decided to answer something.

She then raised her hand up and answered, "Professor, the Elder Futhark has 24 runes. It got its name after the sound of the first six runes in this alphabet" She hoped her answer was good enough.
