[He lays his notes out on the desk, the runes drawn out carefully on the first page. Ehwaz is labelled 'Ehwaz - from the proto-Germanic language. In this its literal meaning is horse; however it is more commonly used in modern times to represent partnership, such as when riding a horse.' Eihwaz is labelled 'Eihwaz - from the proto-Germanic language, appearing also in the Anglo-Saxon runes. In these it meant yew, but in current usage it means defence.']
[For pronunciation, he takes a step back, hands loose behind his back.]
Ehwaz- [his emphasis is fairly definitely on the eh sound] -generally used for partnership. Not to be confused with Eihwaz- [which he pronounces almost entirely like I was] -which commonly represents defence.
…though of course a partnership works best if you're looking out for the points where you need to defend each other.
