''Erilaz'' is a Migration period Proto-Norse word attested on various Elder Futhark inscriptions, which has often been interpreted to mean "magician" or "rune master", viz. one who is capable of writing runes to magical effect. However, as Mees (2003) has shown, the word is an ablaut variant of earl, and is also thought to be linguistically related to the name of the tribe of the Heruli, so it is probably merely an old Germanic military title (see etymology below). ==Etymology== This word is likeliest the Proto-Germanic ancestor of Anglo-Saxon ''eorl'' (Modern English ''earl'') and its relatives, meaning "man, warrior, noble". The word ''erilaz'' is likely a derivative of *''erǭ'' sb.f. "fight, battle", thus the interpretation "one who fights, warrior", though it has also been connected to *''arô'' sb.m. "eagle".〔 Cf. Orel (2003:85).〕 Historical instances: *Latin: Heruli (dating from around 250 AD onwards) *Greek Eruloi (dating from around 250 AD onwards) *Runic: Erilaz (dating from around 200 AD - 400 AD) 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「Erilaz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
