Hi Marcel,
"Do you think it is likely that a word like Alans has lead to a word like
Asir?"
The quote is not about my ideas, and I am not a linguist, and I guess "Asir"
did not come from "Alan". Perhaps the "Aesir" are linked to "Assyria"?
The dragon of Assyria /Babylon has links with Scythians and Celts, as
Brahmin Danu river-goddess also has links with Scythian DNieper and Celt
DANUbe rivers of the dragon-woman. The dragons on Lom stave-church in Norway
are next to the steeple with 4 corner-spires. This is seen on Persian mihr
temples, which are square with 4 gables on the roof. That shape is copied in
Armenia's Mother temple, built over a Persian mihr, and having out-lying
towers with 4 gables. The great example is Angkor Wat in Cambodia, of
Scythian tradition.These represent Mount Meru, mythic central world-mountain
of Brahmins, located between between India and Russia, with 4 rivers to the
compass directions.  The 4 gable shape is seen in the Rhenish Helm
church-steeple of the Rhine area. It has the sense of government to the 4
quarters, as in the symbol >+<. That sacred sign with v and ^ at top and
bottom, is A   /ang/  meaning "vow. abyss. death", and may be the sense of
"Angle" people. (Cambodian "Angkor" is from Skt. negara meaning "people of
the city. government"). The shape persists in Scandinavian flags.
John
