<p>About a reconstructed word for Tuesday.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The business of reconstruction is more than a little complex, but luckily the work has been done for us. The following might be of interest:<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
In a message on 3.10.2000 Albareiks offered a long list of reconstructed terms including Teiwisdags for Tuesday. I have appended his full list to this email.<br>
<br>
On 8.10.2000 he offered Teiws as the nominative of the god's name.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
In a message on 13.5.02 Matt Carver gave a long list of reconstructions by no less a man than Jakob Grimm. I have also appended Matt's list, which includes several of the Germanic gods, though not Tiw.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I hope this is of interest.<br>
