Ansuz is the conventional name given to the ''a''-rune of the Elder Futhark, . The name is based on Common Germanic '' *ansuz'' "a god, one of the main deities in Germanic paganism". The shape of the rune is likely from Neo-Etruscan ''a'' (), like Latin A ultimately from Phoenician aleph. ==Name== In the Norwegian rune poem, ''óss'' is given a meaning of "estuary" while in the Anglo-Saxon one, ''ōs'' takes the Latin meaning of "mouth". The Younger Futhark rune is transliterated as ''ą'' to distinguish it from the new ár rune (ᛅ), which continues the ''jēran'' rune after loss of prevocalic '' *j-'' in Proto-Norse '' *jár'' (Old Saxon ''jār''). Since the name of 15px ''a'' is attested in the Gothic alphabet as ''ahsa'' or ''aza'', the common Germanic name of the rune may thus either have been '' *ansuz'' "god", or '' *ahsam'' "ear (of wheat)". 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「Ansuz (rune)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
