Kaunan

The k-rune ᚲ is called Kaun in both the Norwegian and Icelandic rune poems, meaning "ulcer". The reconstructed Proto-Germanic name is *Kauną. It is also known as Kenaz, based on its Anglo-Saxon name. Wikipedia

Old Norwegian ᚴ Kaun er barna bǫlvan; bǫl gørver nán fǫlvan: Ulcer is fatal to children; death makes a corpse pale
