The name of the Old Englishs-rune,sigil, as found in various medieval manuscripts, is puzzling, as it is the only Anglo-Saxon rune name that is etymologically a loan word. This article examines the variant spelling <sygil> found only in MSCodex Vindobonensis795, arguing that the spelling with <y> is a scribal interpolation. In addressing how an Old High German-speaking scribe might have come to make such an interpolation it is argued that the wordsugilfound in Continentalrunica abecedariaought to be considered an Old High German lexeme relevant to this discussion. A novel etymology for words for ‘sun’ in Germanic is presented, particularly for forms derived from thel-stem variants of the Proto-Indo-European heteroclite.

古英语的名字s-符文，印记，正如在各种中世纪手稿中发现的那样，令人费解，因为它是唯一一个在词源上是借词的盎格鲁-撒克逊符文名称。本文检查了仅在 MS 中发现的变体拼写 <sygil>文多本法典795，认为带有 <y> 的拼写是抄写插值。在解决一个说古高地德语的抄写员是如何做出这种插值的时，有人认为这个词苏吉尔在大陆发现牛蒡应该被认为是与此讨论相关的古高地德语词位。介绍了日耳曼语中“太阳”一词的新词源，特别是源自l- 原始印欧杂岩的茎变体。
