AFAIK, the 'RuneQuest' Runes are not incorrect, and haven't been ret-conned : they
are Dragon Pass Orlanthi *versions* of the GL Runes (as presented in HW). Same
symbolic meanings ; different alphabet/syllabary/idiograms. Happened all the time
in RW.
I was once a Flame Warrior in the 'languages' thread ... ... ...
Still ; it does now appear that Western script *is* idiographic, after all ...

They *are* the GL Runes ; and : Yes to your second question.
Make sense ?
cheers,
