Rune 22. ᛜ ingwaz „Gott Ing“, auch „Feuer“ ng
Dt.
- Ursprung
- Ingwaz (ᛜ) ist die zweiundzwanzigste Rune des älteren Futhark mit dem Lautwert ŋ und fehlt im altnordischen Runenalphabet.[1] Der rekonstruierte urgermanische Name bedeutet „Yngvi“. Die Rune erscheint in den Runengedichten als altenglisch Ing bzw. gotisch enguz.[2]
- Yngvi (auch Ingwë bzw. Ingwio) ist der Name der wichtigsten Gottheit des Germanenstammes der Ingaevonen. Er wird oft als Beiname für den germanischen Gott Freyr der Vanen gesehen.
- The ŋ rune (with variants and ) together with Peorð and Eihwaz is among the problematic cases of runes of uncertain derivation unattested in early inscriptions. The rune first appears independently on the futhark row of the Kylver Stone, and is altogether unattested as an independent rune outside of such rows. There are a number of attestations of the i͡ŋ bind rune or (the "lantern rune", similar in shape to the Anglo-Saxon gēr rune ᛄ), but its identification is disputed in most cases, since the same sign may also be a cipher rune of wynn or thurisaz. The earliest case of such an i͡ŋ bindrune of reasonably certain reading is the inscription mari͡ŋs (perhaps referring to the "Mærings" or Ostrogoths) on the silver buckle of Szabadbattyán, dated to the first half 5th century and conserved at the Hungarian National Museum in Budapest.[3]
- Yngvi is a name of the god Freyr, perhaps Freyr's true name, as freyr means 'lord' and has probably evolved from a common invocation of the god.
- In the Íslendingabók (written in the early twelfth century by the Icelandic priest Ari Þorgilsson) Yngvi Tyrkja konungr 'Yngvi king of Turkey' appears as the father of Njörðr who in turn is the father of Yngvi-Freyr, ancestor of the Ynglings. According to the Skjöldunga saga (a lost epic from 1180–1200, saved only partially in other sagas and later translation) Odin came from Asia and conquered Northern Europe. He gave Sweden to his son Yngvi and Denmark to his son Skjöldr. Since then the kings of Sweden were called Ynglings and those of Denmark Skjöldungs.
