rune-staven.

Brit. /ˈruːnsteɪv/, U.S. /ˈrunˌsteɪv/
Forms: 1600s runstave, 1800s– runestave.

Etymology: Partly (compare quot. 1676) a revival of Old English rūn-stæf (see roun-staff n. at roun n. Compounds), with remodelling after stave n.1, and partly < rune n.2 + stave n.1 after the Old English word or one of its cognates or parallels in other Germanic languages: compare Old High German rūnstab , Old Icelandic rúnastafr , Swedish runstav (17th cent. in this sense, but perhaps already in Old Swedish), Danish runestav (19th cent. in this sense). Compare also rune-staff n.
A runic letter or symbol.
