𐍅𐌰𐌾𐌰𐌼𐌴𐍂𐌴𐌹

From *𐍅𐌰𐌾𐌰𐌼𐌴𐍂𐌴𐌹𐍃 (*wajamēreis) +‎ -𐌴𐌹 (-ei), from Proto-Germanic *wajamērijaz. The entire compound may be a calque of Ancient Greek δυσφημία (dusphēmía), which this word is used to translate.

𐍅𐌰𐌾𐌰𐌼𐌴𐍂𐌴𐌹 • (wajamērei) f

1. (hapax legomenon) bad reputation

   Antonym: 𐍅𐌰𐌹𐌻𐌰𐌼𐌴𐍂𐌴𐌹 (wailamērei)

Only attested in the accusative (Corinthians II 6:8), other apparently related attestations instead belong to 𐍅𐌰𐌾𐌰𐌼𐌴𐍂𐌴𐌹𐌽𐍃 (wajamēreins). The form 𐍅𐌰𐌾𐌰𐌼𐌴𐍂𐌴𐌹𐌽𐍃 (wajamēreins) at John 10:33 (which must be genitive due to the preceding preposition, which takes the genitive) with the meaning "blasphemy" is often explained as a scribal error: a mix-up with the word 𐍅𐌰𐌾𐌰𐌼𐌴𐍂𐌴𐌹𐌽𐍃 (wajamēreins) which has a different genitive form (*wajamēreinais) but which typically translates the word βλασφημία (blasphēmía) present in the corresponding Greek passage and which would be expected in this location.
