Look closely.
The app offers the 16-sign Younger Futhark and the 24-sign Elder Futhark. The latter is historically older. Both are Germanic writing systems. Finnish (suomi), a Finno-Ugric language, supplies modern glosses here alongside conventional names and Latin transliteration; it is not presented as an ancient Finnish alphabet.

Choose 16 or 24 runes, with Finnish glosses and conventional transliteration.
The 24-rune alphabet is historically older than the 16-rune alphabet. Finnish is the Finno-Ugric language used for the modern glosses here; the alphabets themselves are Germanic. Conventional rune names and transliterations remain visible. Several reconstructed names and meanings are debated; Perthro is marked uncertain.
How this draw works
The server takes up to 128 KiB of JPEG image data from one fixed stream, with a two-second timeout, and mixes it with fresh system randomness using SHA-512. The browser uses the same source module as the standalone key tool and mixes this response with its own random seed and uses fresh browser random words for each result. Rejection sampling avoids modulo bias. If the sampler is unavailable, results use browser randomness and the status says so.
Samples are experimental: no physical entropy rate has been established. Camera delays and repeated frames are possible. No predictive meaning is assigned to results. History stays in this page and clears when you leave or reset.
