Etymology
1. From Proto-Norse ᚷᚢᛞᛁᛃᚨ (gudija), from Proto-Germanic *gudjô. Cognate with Old English *Gydda, Gothic 𐌲𐌿𐌳𐌾𐌰 (gudja, “priest”).
2. The development of this word is phonologically irregular; we would expect i-umlaut and -j- in the oblique cases, as we indeed find in the feminine equivalent gyðja. This is, however, not an unparallelled development from Proto-Norse to Old Norse; compare -riði (from Proto-Germanic *ridjô) and arfi (from Proto-Norse ᚨᚱᛒᛁᛃᚨᚾᛟ (arbijano, genitive plural), from Proto-Germanic *arbijô). See: Old English Nouns '
*Gydda', Gothic Nouns '
𐌲𐌿𐌳𐌾𐌰'.
