TŶR.
Scandinavian. A form of Old Norse Þorr/Thor
(q.v.), son of Odin,
meaning "thunder."
TYR. In Scandinavian
mythology the god of battles and of bravery, whose symbol was a sword. (An
Archaic Dictionary, Cooper, 1876).
... And now, tall and slender as a
pine, brave Tyr comes forward. He has only one hand; for when the
terrible Fenris-Wolf grew so powerful that he even threatened the gods
themselves in Asgard, Tyr ventured to chain him up with bonds that could
not be unloosed, and in so doing lost his hand. He bears a sword
as his proper badge, for he is the god of war. The German people
held him in high honour under the name of Tius or
Zio. (Asgard
and the Gods, Wagner, 1917).
