Usage notes

Attested only in the dative plural as a gloss to πƒπ„πŒ°πŒ±πŒΉπŒΌ πŒΈπŒΉπƒ π†πŒ°πŒΉπ‚πˆπŒ°πŒΏπƒ (stabim ΓΎis fairΖ•aus) (an obscure phrase apparently meaning something along the lines of "the elements of the universe") in Galatians 4:3.

Reconstruction notes

[edit]

The gender and stem of this word cannot be ascertained from its one appearance (π„πŒΏπŒ²πŒ²πŒ»πŒ°πŒΌ (tugglam), dative plural). It may have been an a-stem or an-stem of either masculine or neuter gender. Streitberg (who assigns the meaning "Gestirn" to it) reconstructs a neuter a-stem, presumably based on the word's Germanic cognates.
