different between aett vs att

English

Alternative forms

• ætt

Etymology

From Old Norse ætt.

Noun

aett (plural aettir or aetts)

1. (sometimes paganism) A division of the runic alphabet.
   • 2009, Donald Tyson, Runic Astrology: Chart Interpretation Through the Runes, Llewellyn Worldwide (?ISBN)

     Each aett is named after the rune that begins it, which may be regarded as the patriarch of the family it heads. This trine of families was so important that it survived the increase of the runes in England and the decrease in their number […]

   • 2016, Kim Farnell, Runes, Plain & Simple: The Only Book You'll Ever Need, Hampton Roads Publishing (?ISBN), page 38

     Each Aett contains certain runes that cover similar concepts. For example each has a rune for light, as in Kanauz the torch, Sowelo the sun, and Dagaz the day. The light becomes greater in power as we progress through the Aettir.
