*segaz
Runic: ᛊᛖᚷᚨᛉ Pronunciation: /ˈse.ɣɑz/noun · neuter · z-stem
Meanings
victory, triumph
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *séǵʰos (‘the overpowering’), from root *seǵʰ- (‘to hold, overpower’). Cognate with Sanskrit सहस् (sáhas) (sáhas, ‘force, power, victory’), as well as Ancient Greek ἔχω (ékhō) (ékhō, ‘I have, I own’). The alternate forms are a result of syncopation and subsequent re-analysis of the z-declension.
