Because your orthography is literally roleplaying the 1200s, any relation to phonology has been lost
>>
>>58739452
in germanic languages, letters in a word affect the pronunciations of others. for example, "bap" and "bapp" would be pronounced differently in english. some germanic languages use characters like "ä" to essentially override nearby letters, marking an otherwise irregular pronunciation (english's avoidance of these marks is part of why its pronunciation is so fucked up).

Eh, maybe different for Nordic languages and Old English, but Southern Germanic variants have been written in Latin since the 6th century or so and we barely ever used runes here, so it would be a rather cringy exaggerated muh hurritage thing at least in our case
