Tír, es; n. One form of the name of the Runic T; it is also the name of the god corresponding to the Latin Mars, and apparently used also of the planet bearing his name; as Grimm notices, the Runic symbol RUNE resembles that used for the planet UNCERTAIN :-- Tír byþ tácna sum, healdaþ trýwa wel wið æðelingas, á byþ on færylde ofer nihta genipu, nfre swíceþ, Runic pm. Kmbl. 342, 21-26; Rún. 17. The other name of the rune is Tí, v. Tíw, the two forms Tír, Tíw may be compared with Icelandic Týrr; gen. Týrs (cf. Dan. Tirs-dag), Týr; gen. Týs.

Tíw, Tíg, Tí, es; m. I. the god Tiw, a Teutonic deity to whom amongst the Latin gods Mars most nearly corresponded:--Tiig Mars, Martis, Txts. 77, 1293. Tíg, Wrt. Voc. ii. 55, 56. Tuu (Tíw?), 58, 40. Ðone Syxtum nédde Decius se cásere Tíges (Martis) deófolgylde, Shrn. 114, 9. The word occurs oftenest in the connection in which it remains--in the name of one of the days:--On Tíwes-dæg tertia feria, R. Ben. 38, 6; R. Ben. Interl. 49, 14: Wulfst. 180, 25. On Tíwes-niht, Lchdm. iii. 146, 23. II. one form of the name of the Runic T; Ti is given as the name of the symbol RUNE in some alphabets, see Kemble on Anglo-Saxon Runes in Archæologia, vol. 28, pp. 338, 339. The word is probably to be recognized in the form tyz, which is given as the name of the Gothic T in the Vienna MS. containing a Gothic alphabet, and from it a Gothic Tius may be inferred. O. H. Ger. Ziu(-o) the name of a god (preserved in M. H. Ger. Zies-tag), the name of a letter: Icel. Týr the name of a god (kept in Týs-dagr), name ofa rune. See Grmm. D. M. c. ix.] v. Tír.
