    Annotation:

    The Finnish and Karelian word runo ['poem'] has been viewed as reflecting a loan from Proto-Germanic *rūnō, the ancestor of Old Norse rún ['rune']. However, given its limited distribution in Finnic and the meanings attested in Germanic and Finnic languages, the word was more likely borrowed at a later stage, from Early Norse near the start of the Viking Age, probably in the meaning of 'incantation, verbal charm' and in connection with incantational magic.
