Pseudo-runes are glyphs that look like Germanic runes, adjectivally called Runiform, but are not true runes. The term is mostly used of incised characters that are intended to imitate runes, often visually or symbolically, sometimes even with no linguistic content, but it can also be used to describe characters of other written languages which resemble runes, for example: Old Turkic script, Old Hungarian script, Old Italic scripts, Ancient South Arabian script.
