Hirila

Here's a little sword from the Danes' Mark. Well, it's just a knife; hirila is what the runes say on it.

In Late Antiquity, the -ila suffix is well-known in Germannic: "Attila", "Totila". I think the suffix tended not to be accented; "Attila" was spelt that way to force Romans to accent the "Att-". See also "Etzel" in Germannic legend.

Thus, hir is a real sword and this affectionate nickname should be pointed "hírila". Although I don't know if the "i" be long (like Tot) or short (Att).

Claim is that this language is already Old Norse. If so: not the ancestor to Gothic or Dutch.
