Thurs (rune)

The thorn-rune ᚦ is called thurs (giant) in the Icelandic and Norwegian rune poems:

Old Norse	English translation
Þurs vældr kvinna kvillu, kátr værðr fár af illu.	Giant causes anguish to women, misfortune makes few men cheerful.
Þurs er kvenna kvöl ok kletta búi ok varðrúnar verr. Saturnus þengill.	Thurs is torture of women and cliff-dweller and husband of a giantess Saturn's thegn.

In Anglo-Saxon England, the same rune was called thorn and it survives as the letter Þ.
