This should be up on Dulfy.net soon, but until then:

Potency: Potency Runes come in two categories. These runes determine the item levels that the Glyph can be applied to, and they determine either the additive or subtractive nature of the Glyph. We'll call the two categories Subtractive and Additive.

Essence: Essence Runes determine the base type of effect the Glyph will have. The exact effect and what item the glyph can be applied to are determined by the combination of Potency and Essence runes.

Dekeipa = Frost
Deni = Stamina
Denima = Stamina Regen
Deteri = Armor
Haoko = Disease
Kaderi = Shield
Kuoko = Poison
Makderi = Spell Harm
Makko = Magicka
Makkoma = Magicka Regen
Meip = Shock
Oko = Health
Okoma = Health Regen
Okori = Power
Oru = Alchemist
Rakeipa = Fire
Taderi = Physical Harm

Aspect: Aspect Runes ONLY affect the magnitude of the effect generated, not the item level or type.

Ta (white, Req. Aspect Imp 1)= Base
Jejota (green, Req. Aspect Imp. 1)= Fine
Denata (blue, Req. Aspect Improvement 2) = Superior
Rekuta (purple, Req. Aspect Improvement 3)= Artifact
Kuta (gold, Req. Aspect Imp 4)= Legendary
