Etymology

edit

Compound of *ᚺᚨᚦᚢᛉ (*haþuʀ, war, battle) +‎ *ᛚᚨᛁᚲᚨᛉ (*laikaʀ, play, sport). The first element may also be *ᚺᚨᛞᚢᛉ (*haduʀ /⁠handuʀ⁠/, hand), with non-writing of a nasal before a homorganic consonant. For this compare the secure instances ᚲᚢᚾᛁᛗᚢᛞᛁᚢ (kunimudiu /⁠Kunimundiu⁠/) and ᚱᚨᚷᛁᚾᚨᚲᚢᛞᛟ (raginakudo /⁠raginakundō⁠/).
