ᚅ Nion — ash / spine

World-linking axis

Nion, associated with ash, is often linked in modern tables to the spine and the vertical world-linking axis. The front-view midline point makes the axis visible even though the physical spine lies posteriorly, so this is a deliberate projection convention.
