[[http://www.therunesite.com/elder-futhark-rune-meanings/|The Rune Site]](([[https://archive.ph/mOk2g|Webpage archive]])) on the Elder Futhark **Othala**:

<blockquote>
Much like [[Fehu]] this is a rune of wealth. But unlike Fehu, Othala represents a wealth that cannot be sold. This is wealth like family, friendships or our culture and heritage that is passed down to us. It represents an enclosure and maintains the existing state of things as they presently are.

[[http://www.therunesite.com/gothic-runes-rune-meanings/|The Rune Site]](([[https://archive.ph/LHJvh|Webpage archive]])) on the Gothic **Othal**, **Utal**:

<blockquote>
Like similar runes that represent land in its many forms this rune is one of a wealth that is passed on to us from our family. Like family knowledge or a family secret it is something we should carefully watch and guard over.
