[8] Rǫgnir: The origin of this frequently used Óðinn-heiti is debated. According to Falk (1924, 24), ON Rǫgnir is cognate with Goth. ragineis ‘counsellor’, while Finnur Jónsson (LP: Rǫgnir) gives the meaning ‘ruler’. There may be a connection with the weak verb ragna ‘perform sorcery, bewitch’ and with rǫgn (regin) n. pl. ‘divine powers, gods’, hence perhaps ‘lord of the gods’ (see AEW: rǫgn).
