[quote=""RevAnakin""]There is really no such thing as "dwarven" or "elven" runes. There are two runic languages used by Tolkien. The first, in the original book of the Hobbit, real world, Old English runes were used. He used these runes because he had not developed his own yet. Remember Tolkien wrote this whole story of Middle Earth to be Britain specific mythology that was lost during the Norman Conquest.
Then later, he took those Old English runes and reinvented them for Lord of the Rings. That is where we get the "Cirth" runes we see in the back of the ROTK appendix. The movies have exclusively been using Cirth, even on the Hobbit weapons, even though they should be Old English. Some are saying that the Dwarf weapons have the Old English runes on them, but since 99% of movie Dwarvish in invented, we really can't tell which runes they are using unless they specifically tell us.
So in other words, the youtuber you were describing doesn't really understand the languages of Middle Earth and should refrain themselves from making stupid comments like that misleading people.
