Aesir-Asura correspondence is the relation between ''æsir'', an Old Norse word meaning "gods" (the plural of the singular word ''áss'' "god") and ', a Sanskrit word referring to certain warlike and aggressive demons. Also related is the Avestan word ''ahura'', found as the title of the god Ahura Mazda. ==Linguistics== The Proto-Germanic form of Old Norse ''áss'', deduced by comparison to other Germanic languages, living and dead, is *ansuz. The plural of this Proto-Germanic word was *ansiwiz, which by regular sound changes into ''æsir''. The word (unicode:ásuraḥ) can be postulated to come from Proto-Indo-Iranian *(unicode:n̩suras), where *(unicode:n̩su-) is the zero-grade form equivalent to the Gemanic *ansu-, both from a Proto-Indo-European root *H2ensu-. In Sanskrit, ''(unicode:ásuḥ)'' (PIIr *(unicode:n̩sus)) means "vital spirit" or "life", and is presumably related, suggesting a common meaning "spirit". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aesir-Asura correspondence」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
