Dubrovina M. E. Graphemes for vowel expression in the ancient turkic runic script // Mongolica. Том XXIII, 2020, № 2. СПб.: Петербургское Востоковедение, 2020. С. 20—22.
There are four graphemes for transmitting vowel phonemes: α — a/ä, Ο — o/u, ο — ö/ü, ι — y/i in the
repertoire of runic writing. It is believed that these graphemes are used as normal signs for vowels. Nevertheless,
the analysis of runic texts inclines the author more and more to the idea that these signs did not have an independent
meaning yet. In our opinion, they were used in texts for “technical” purposes. Vocalic graphemes in runic
monuments have not yet been used systematically, as is usually the case in alphabetical scripts. In this writing the
need for independent using within words and word forms of signs for vowels was not yet felt, since each grapheme
was itself a syllabogram, within which a certain vowel already existed.
