different between tyr vs freya

Danish

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): [?t?y???], [?t?y???]

Etymology 1

From Old Danish thiur, from Old Norse þjórr (“bull”), from Proto-Germanic *þeuraz. The West Germanic languages have a form with s-: English steer, Dutch stier and German Stier. These Germanic words seem to be related to Latin taurus (“bull”) and Ancient Greek ?????? (taûros, “bull”), which may go back to Proto-Indo-European *(s)táwros (*(s)téh?wros). However, the vocalism of the Germanic words is problematic. Furthermore, the similarity with Proto-Semitic *?awr- (“bull, ox”) suggests that the word is a wanderword.
