The Norse god Týr is sometimes called a battle god of minor significance, while others argue. based on etymology that he was once the chief god of the Germanic peoples - a sky father. However, perhaps neither argument is entirely correct. In this video I am joined by Angriff and Dr Boaz and we will discuss Týr and the Proto-Indo-European sky father in the context of Georges Dumézil's theory that he was in fact a secondary sovereign god whose principle attribute was neither paternal nor related to battle, but judicial matters!

@Audid - they all cease to be Christians when they die, obviously, and realise their error. As for your proposed etymology, I think what you says shows you didn't actually listen to the talk. Please listen again and pay attention to what was said about the word Tiw as a kenning and a root that doesn't refer to a specific god always, or even to gods at all.
