Re: Ymir

Dušan Vukotić skreiv:

Maybe, it could be interesting to see if the name of Nordic god Ymir is in any way related to Slavic word mir (Serb. mir peace; Russ. мир world, peace).

The -r of Ymir is the masculine nominative case ending.

First, there is the Hindu deity of death called Yama, also known as
Yamarāja, who may be related to Ymir.

Yes. And perhaps Latin Remus < *yemus. I've even seen an attempt to connect it to Finnish Jumala "God".

On the other side is the Serbo-Slavic word umor (death, tiredness, fatigue; Lat. mors, mortis death; Skt. mṛtya death), [...]

A completely other side, that is. The rest is leading to
