While 'Q' and 'X' do not exist in this alphabet, this is accurate: in runic writings these sounds are typically formed with 'KU' and 'KS' sounds respectively. The list as it is now may well be complete, as can be seen by comparing to [[wikipedia:Category:Runes|Wikipedia's 'Runes' category]] - the only common rune that might still remain unfound is [[wikipedia:Wynn|Wynn]], though that might instead just use Uruz' 'U' sound.
