Otacher

Old High German Alternative forms goh Otakar Ōtachar Aotakchar Aotachar Otacchar Etymology Ultimately from goh gem-pro *Audawakraz. Or, if goh la Odoacer is not from that same source, this may also be a loan from Latin or from whatever source Odoacer originates (or at least influenced by it). The attested forms of this word are not entirely what would be expected from an Old High German reflex of *Audawakraz; one would rather expect something like goh *Otwacchar or goh *Ōtwahhar. However, Old High German spelling varied greatly and there are many irregularities found in the spellings of given names, so the absence of e.g. the -w- is not strong evidence that this is not simply a reflex of *Audawakraz (compare gem-pro *Auziwandilaz and goh Orentil, which similarly lacks the -w- of its etymon.)
