- The Far-East god of war 蚩尤 (티우*, tiu) might well be identified with the Western counterpart such as English Tiu or Tiw, German Ziu, Nordic Tyr, and even Latin Mars. Meanwhile, Latin Mars Thingsus [5] strongly suggests that Thing or the like was characteristic of the above-mentioned Germanic god of war. Such may be the case with 蚩尤 and 廳, anyway in close association!

- ↑ "Týr is the namesake of the Tiwaz rune (ᛏ), a letter of the runic alphabet corresponding to the Latin letter T. By way of the process of interpretatio germanica, the deity is the namesake of Tuesday ('Týr's day') in Germanic languages, including English.
- ↑ The interpretatio romana generally renders the god as Mars, the ancient Roman war god, and it is through that lens that most Latin references to the god occur. For example, the god may be referenced as Mars Thingsus (Latin 'Mars of the Assembly [Thing]') on 3rd century Latin inscription, reflecting a strong association with the Germanic thing, a legislative body among the ancient Germanic peoples.
