Æsir
In Old Norse, áss is the term denoting a member of the principal pantheon in the indigenous Germanic religion known as Norse paganism. This pantheon includes Odin, Frigg, Thor, Balder and Tyr. The second pantheon comprises the Vanir. In Norse mythology, the two pantheons wage the Æsir-Vanir War, which results in a unified pantheon. The cognate term in Old English is ōs denoting a deity in Anglo-Saxon paganism. The Old High German is ans, plural ensî. The Gothic language had ans-. The reconstructed Proto-Germanic form is *ansuz. The a-rune ᚫ was named after the æsir. Unlike the Old English word god, the term ōs was never adopted into Christian use and survived only in a secularized meaning of "pole, beam, stave, hill" or "yoke".
