摘　　要：1854年,马丁·豪格提出名不见经传的德国神伊尔明(Irmin)与印度小神雅利安门(Aryaman)存在根源联系。从语音兼容性、语义相似性、语用兼容性、个人名称模式化和宇宙学而言,这一假说仍成立。Irmin的简明含义是“伟大的、巨大的、崇高的”,且是日耳曼语中印欧语中间分词的唯一残余,该观点并不可信,Irmines-的形式显然是一个名字的属格形式。最古老的资料源和比较神话学证明,Irmin/Irmun是一种与主权、祖先和人民集体生活密切相关的神圣或英雄实体(irmin-diot),在日耳曼和凯尔特人的后基督教文学传统中,这种最初的形式被扭曲和转换。In 1854 Martin Haug suggested a root connection between the obscure German god Irmin and the minor Indic god Aryaman.Arguments based on phonetic compatibility,semantic similarity,pragmatic compatibility,personal name patternization,and cosmology support this hypothesis.The argument that Irmin concisely means′great,immense,elevated′and is the sole remnant of the Indo-European middle participle in Germanic is implausible.The form Irmines-is clearly the genitive form of a name.The oldest sources and comparative mythology demonstrated that Irmin/Irmun was some kind of divine or heroic entity(irmin-diot)closely connected with sovereignty,ancestry,and the collective life of the people.In the post-Christian literary traditions of the Germanic and Celtic peoples the original patterns were transformed and distorted.
