tyr
FromOld Danishthiur, fromOld Norseþjórr(“bull”), fromProto-Germanic*þeuraz. The West Germanic languages have a form withs-:Englishsteer,Dutchstier andGermanStier. These Germanic words seem to be related toLatintaurus(“bull”) andAncient Greekταῦρος(taûros,“bull”), which may go back toProto-Indo-European*(s)táwros (*(s)téh₂wros). However, the vocalism of the Germanic words is problematic. Furthermore, the similarity withProto-Semitic*ṯawr-(“bull, ox”) suggests that the word is awanderword.
