Rugila or Ruga (also Ruas; died second half of the 430s AD),〔Lee, A.D. (2013) ''From Rome to Byzantium AD 363 to 565: The Transformation of Ancient Rome''. Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, pp. 118-119. ISBN 9780748627912〕 was a ruler who was a major factor in the Huns early victories over the Roman Empire. He served as an important forerunner with brother Octar, with whom initially ruled in dual kingship, possibly a geographical division where Rugila ruled over Eastern Huns while Octar over Western Huns, during the 5th century AD. ==Etymology== The name is mentioned in three variants, ''Ρούγας'' (Rougas) , ''Ρουας'' (Rouas), and ''΄Ρωίλας'' (Roilas). Common spellings are Ruga, Roas, Rugila. Otto Maenchen-Helfen included this name among those of Germanic or Germanized origin, but without any derivation, only comparison with Rugemirus and Rugolf. Denis Sinor considered a name with initial ''r-'' not of Altaic origin (example Ragnaris). Omeljan Pritsak dervied it from Old Turkic and considered it to be of composite form, with the change ''ουγα-'' > ''ουα'', Greek suffix ''-ς'', and those with ''ila'' as Gothicized variant. The Ancient Greek ''Ρ'' (Rho) rendered Hunnic '' *hr-'', which is Old Turkic '' *her'' > ''har/ar/er'' (man), common component of names and titles. Second part ''ουγα-'' or ''ουα'' resembles Old Turkic title ''ogä'' (to think). Thus the reconstruction goes '' *hēr ögä'' > '' *hər ögä'' > ''hrögä''. 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「Rugila」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
