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.
Of course! But Slavic mir is a compound word. Slavic mir (peace) is
obtained from a compound word umirenje (pacification, mollification);
similar umi-rati => mreti (pass away, die). There is Serbian word jama
(hole) and jamar (once again JAMA-R) is a man who is digging the holes
and jama is also a synonim for grave (jamar gravedigger). I suppose
that Sanskrit Yamarāja is equal to Serbian jamarenje (digging of
holes). Serbian phrase "završiti u jami" means "to end one's life in a
grave". In fact, Serbian jama is a distant cousin of words as Serbian
zemlja (earth), gomila (heap), kamara (heap), hum (mound) and English
hole and hill. I was talking earlier that a great number of words was
developed from the same basis from which their antonyms had also been
derived.
If you are able to grasp the relation among English words hill, whole,
hole and hell you are on a good path to understand the way in which
the human speech has benn developed. And you could call yourself an
expert if you were able to understand the relation among Serbian words
uzimanje (taking), izneti (take out), AS ge-nimen (to take, move an
object in the hand from its place, to pick up), Serbian zemlja
(earth), jamljenje (taking), hum (hill), English hill,heap, globe and
a thousands of other words I have no time to mention now.

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
