Valthungian
Etymology
From ljūþ ‘light’ (doublet of ljuguþ, via Middle Valthungian from Old Valthungian ljuhþ, ljuhaþ, from Griutungi liuhaþ; cf. Gothic 𐌻𐌹𐌿𐌷𐌰𐌸 (liuhaþ); uncertain relationship to Proto-Germanic *leuhtą), and tungla ‘planet, orb, sphere’ (via Middle and Old Valthungian and Griutungi tungl, cf. Gothic 𐍄𐌿𐌲𐌲𐌻 (tuggl), from Proto-Germanic *tunglą). We might expect -hwerb here (‘sphere, orb’ in the geometrical sense) instead of -tungla (which usually refers to stellar phenomena – “the heavenly spheres,” if you will), but this refers more to their ability to emit light than to their shape.
