m (q. n in Gothic and in other cognate dialects, e. g. net, hand, án; Goth. nati, handus, ains; O. H. Ger. nezzi, hant, ein; O. Sax. net, hand, én; but, like m, it falls away before ð and s, and the vowel which preceded the n is lengthened, e. g. cúð, tóð, óðer, múð, húsel, est; Goth. kunþs, tunþus, anþar, munþs, hunsl, ansts; O. H. Ger. chund, zand, andar, mund, anst; O. Sax. kúð, tand, óðar, múð, anst. If, however, n and s come together by the loss of an intervening vowel the n remains, e. g. winstre; O. H. Ger. O. Sax. winistar. The character which appears in the Runic poem is ᚾ , and the verse, in which the name (cf. Icel. nauð) is given, is the following :--
Nýd byþ nearu on breósteoft tó helpe
niða bearnum,and tó hǽle gehwæðre
weorðeþ heó ðeáhgif hí his hlystaþ ǽror.
Runic pm. Kmbl. 341, 8-13.
