Editing Eathel

The [[Rowns|rown]] '''Eathel''', known in''' '''OE as '''Ēðel''' (ᛟ), is the 23rd or 24th stave of [[Futhorc|Fuþorc]], where it tokens the loud of ''œ'', and the 23rd or 24th stave of [[Elder Futhark|Elder Fuþark]] where it is called '''Ôþalan''' and tokens the loud of ''o''. '''*Ôþalan''' is the [[Orthedish]] making anew of this rown's name, and it has also come to be named '''Odal''', '''Othila''' and '''Othala'''. The matching Gottish stave is called oþal. 

==Fuþorc Ēðel==
The Ēðel rown is often linked with ownership and bequest, wealth and weal. In the Old English rown staffs, the name is given to us as '''eþel'''. In English rownlore this stave is sometimes overstaved as ''œ''.

==Ownership Laws==
In Shetland, Orkney, Scotland and Man, there is a near-dead, Norse-brought framework of law called [[Udal law]]. This law is nigh akin to the long-standing Shedenish [[Odelsrett]], which has to do with steering the bequest of land. The Middle Latin word '''allodium''' is borrowed from Frankish and shares the same root as Ēðel (''*all'' "all" ''*ōd'' "bequest"). 

Although ownership laws have no open bearing on the Ēðel rown, they shed some light on its tokening. 

==Troll Cross==
The Ēðel rown may be akin to the '''Troll Cross''' (''Trollkors'' in Swedish), an Ēðel rown-like token made of iron that was worn on a meen by women and children and carved onto worthesome things. In outborough Swedish folklore, it was believed to ward worthesome things against Trolls and other ill-hearted beings.

==Late Brooking==
===Thedish Newheathendom===
As with other rowns, the Ēðel rown is also brooked as a token by Thedish newheathens, such as the [[Theodish Belief|Theodish]] kindred of Œðelland, who show it on their fane.

===Drightish Brooking===
The [[Dutchland|Thedishlandish]] landmain and seamain brook an Ēðel-shape in their rung tokens. Although the Thedishlandish landmain has brooked this token in yoretide, nothing becouthes that the now-brooked likeness is meant to be an Ēðel rown.

An Ēðel rown was the brandmark of folkish Thedishlanders (Volksdeutsche) of the 7th SS Freewill Harmen Fell Sundering Prinz Eugen in plight through [[World War Two]] in the Lonestanding Rich of Croatland.

===Mootish Brooking===
The Ēðel rown has been brooked by the newbundlish fellowship Landwide Foreward in [[Italy]], the folk-bundlish Wiking-Jugend in Thedishland and the threatworker, white-bestish fellowship Boeremag in South Birthland. ''Odal'' was the name of a monthly, folk-bundlish tidewrit. The Young BNP in the [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland|Banded Kingdom]] brook this token without any white-bestish or folk-bundlish meaning.
