Etymology

1. From Proto-Germanic *ansuz. Cognate with Old Norse áss. The Latinized plural ansis found in Jordanes' Getica is the basis for this reconstruction; Jordanes glosses the word as semideōs (“demigods”).
2. While based on its cognates a Gothic u-stem noun is expected to underlie the mention in Jordanes' Latin text, Köbler relates the Latin form to a Gothic plural form *anseis, which looks like an i-stem plural and thus would deviate from the expected u-stem pattern. He therefore not only mentions the possible u-stem lemma *ansus, but additionally suggests an i-stem *ans as possibly being the underlying Gothic lemma. Lehmann also points out the disconnect between the apparent i-stem plural attestation and the u-stem cognates. (But compare also the mixed declension of e.g. 𐌰𐌲𐌲𐌹𐌻𐌿𐍃 (aggilus).) See: Old Norse Nouns 'áss'.
