/ˈtɪr/
.
*old norse* –> týr / [tyːr]*
.
*”týr” is a ‘germanic god’ associated with ‘law’ + ‘heroic glory’ in ‘norse mythology’, portrayed as “1-handed”*
.
(corresponding names in other ‘germanic languages’ are ‘gothic’ teiws, ‘old english’ tīw, and ‘old high german’ ziu and cyo, all from proto-germanic “*tīwaz”)
(the latinized name is tius or “tio”)
(in the ‘late icelandic eddas’, týr is portrayed, alternately, as the son of ‘odin’ (‘prose edda’) or of ‘hymir’ (‘poetic edda’), while the origins of his name and his possible relationship to ‘tuisto’ (see tacitus’ germania) suggest he was once considered the ‘father of the gods’ and ‘head of the pantheon’, since his name is ultimately cognate to that of *dyeus (cf. dyaus), the reconstructed chief deity in “indo-european religion”)
(it is assumed that ‘tîwaz’ was overtaken in popularity and in authority by both ‘odin’ and ‘thor’ at some point during the ‘migration age’, as ‘odin’ shares his role as ‘god of war’)
(‘týr’ is a ‘god’ of ‘war’ and will take ‘mead’, ‘meat’, and ‘blood’ for sacrifice)
(if a warrior carved the rune ‘tîwaz’ on his weapon he would be dedicating it to týr and strengthen the outcome of a battle to be in his favor)
(after a warrior has dedicated his weapon to týr he should not lose it or break it)
(“tiw” was equated with “mars” in the “interpretatio germanica”)
.
(“tuesday” is in fact “tīw’s day”)
(also in alemannic zischtig from zîes tag)
(translating “dies martis”)
