Literature | Oghams The alphabet in use among the ancient Irish and some other Celtic nations prior to the ninth century. "The oghams seem to have been merely tree-runes. The Irish regarded the oghams as a forest, the individual characters being trees (feada), while each cross-stroke is called a twig (fleasg)."- Isaac Taylor: The Alphabet, vol. ii. chap. viii. p. 226.
