From Proto-Germanic *tunglΔ (βcelestial bodyβ). Cognate to Old Norse tungl (βmoonβ).
ππΏπ²π²π» β’ (tuggl) n
Attested only in the dative plural as a gloss to πππ°π±πΉπΌ πΈπΉπ ππ°πΉπππ°πΏπ (stabim ΓΎis fairΖaus) (an obscure phrase apparently meaning something along the lines of "the elements of the universe") in Galatians 4:3.
The gender and stem of this word cannot be ascertained from its one appearance (ππΏπ²π²π»π°πΌ (tugglam), dative plural). It may have been an a-stem or an-stem of either masculine or neuter gender. Streitberg (who assigns the meaning "Gestirn" to it) reconstructs a neuter a-stem, presumably based on the word's Germanic cognates.
