English summary: The contributions concentrate on the spelling of some Indo-European languages and the relation of writing and pronunciation; in particular they deal with: (I) the use of cuneiform letters in Hittite and of hieroglyphs in Luvian; (II) writing systems and phonological systems in Germanic languages, partly in the form of a general survey and partly and more specifically the rendering of i-umlaut in Old English, Old High German and Old Norse, as well as spelling peculiarities in the Gawain manuscript; (III) development, use and different forms of runes in Old Norse and Old English; (IV) games and their names in Old Norse, as well as computer games and how they have changed the spelling of English.
