| Title: | This is what Russians call Northern vikings.
|
| Answer: | varyAghi
|
| Hints: | 1. Perhaps this word has the same Germanic stem as 'Wahrung' in the present day German
|
| Equivalents: | 1. vikinghi
2. normany (rarely, a more 'westernized' term) |
| Explanation: | This might be the diachronic phonetic transformation of the Germanic 'Waaring' into the Russian 'varyag'(варяг).
Waaringz > vārengu > vaŕęgε (варiąгъ) > var'ag (варяг)
Note:
ŕ and r' stand for a palatalized [r];
ę stands for a nasal [e];
ε is a vowel, similar to the short German [ä].
