Haglaz or Hagalaz is the reconstructed Proto-Germanic name of the h-rune , meaning "hail" (the precipitation). In the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc, it is continued as haegl and in the Younger Futhark as hagall The corresponding Gothic letter is h, named hagl. The Elder Futhark letter has two variants, single-barred and double-barred . The double-barred variant is found in continental inscriptions while Scandinavian inscriptions have exclusively the single-barred variant. The Anglo-Frisian Futhorc in early inscriptions has the Scandinavian single-barred variant. From the 7th century, it is replaced by the continental double-barred variant, the first known instances being found on a Harlingen solidus (ca,. 575?625), and in the Christogram on St. Cuthbert's coffin.
