Kaunan

The k-rune ᚲ (Younger Futhark ᚴ, Anglo-Saxon futhorc ᚳ) is called Kaun in both the Norwegian and Icelandic rune poems, meaning "ulcer".

[1] Old Norwegian ᚴ Kaun er barna bǫlvan; bǫl gørver nán fǫlvan.

Old Icelandic ᚴ Kaun er barna böl ok bardaga [för] ok holdfúa hús.

Anglo-Saxon ᚳ Cen bẏþ cƿicera gehƿam, cuþ on fẏre blac ond beorhtlic, bẏrneþ oftust ðær hi æþelingas inne restaþ.

The torch is known to every living man by its pale, bright flame; it always burns where princes sit within.
