Proper noun

[edit]

ᚨᛊᚢᚷᚨᛊᛞᛁᛉ (asugasdiʀ /Ą̄sugastīʀ/) m (genitive)

  1. a male given name
    • 200s-400s inscription on the Mycklebostad stone (KJ77)[1]:
      ᚨᛊᚢᚷᚨᛊᛞᛁᛉᚺᛚᚨᛁᚹᚨ [...]

      /Ą̄sugastīʀ hlaiwa [...]/
      Ansugastiʀ’s grave.

Usage notes

[edit]
  • The use of ᛞ (d) for /t/ is unexpected, but possibly motivated by deaspiration following /s/.
  • For support for this name being in the genitive, compare the Bø stone (KJ78): hnabdas hlaiwa ‘the grave of Hnabdaʀ’.
