Re: [tied] ON Thjazi

It was a shape-shifter (eagle-shaped) and there was a hypothesis that he and his brothers were the same as the Ivaldi's sons.

It's curious and could be only coincidence, but in at least three IE people, there are enemies of the gods with names linked to a root *Tit- : Titanes (Greece), Titus Tatius and his titienses (Rome), Thjazi (<*Thedaso: n < *Tit-).

It's a way of spelling <þjatsi>. If common Germanic, it should derive from *þetas-o:n- or *þedas-o:n-. I have no idea what it means, if anything. Was there anything special about Thjazi? He was a shape-shifter, but I can't think of a plausible etymology based on that.

What's the etymology of name of Norse Giant THJAZI (THJASSI) ?

What's the etymological origin of this "Z" in Old Norse?
