Well, if you want. The english 'th' is being pronounced too closely to 's' for me though, while 'ð' is phonetically equivalent to the greek delta and was mostly replaced by 'd' according to

Maybe ásmegin. I don't speak norse, but that's what you can find in the norse
Gylfaginning and
Skáldskaparmál versions of the
younger Edda. Wikipedia unfortunately only lists a
band of the same name. Literally As-strength or Áss-power, the Wikipedia article says that it means "by/with the might of the gods".
