New Ogham Letter Assignments Based On Druid Akkadian Runes

(March 10, 2026, updated April 5) Ogham most likely developed as hand signals for the purposes of trading between the northern, non-Roman, cultures. Three Druid Akkadian writing cultures existed in the north using different letter styles: Nordic, Welsh/Cornish, and Irish/Anglo-Saxon. By this time they also were speaking differently due to Indo-European influences so hand signals became their only means of communication. The number representations from this hand signaling survived in the trading pits of Dutch New York up through today. Significantly, these hand signals could be scratched on wood and stone with lines representing the fingers and the orientation of the lines representing the hand orientations.

Ogham hand signals start with the palm facing out. The vowel signs use a hand orientation having the fingers facing left (the vowels). Hand orientation facing right provides M through G, facing down provides R through N, and facing up provides H through S.

Palms facing in represent numbers as preserved in the hand signals from the New York trading pits.

Ogham is also found in Scandinavia. It is not just a Celtic phenomena.
