7 See Erik Björkman, Nordische Personennamen in England, p. 72, under Ingware, Hinguar. The nom. Inwœr occurs in a royal grant to York Cathedral of ca. 930, the gen. lnwœres in the oldest text of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, annal 878 (variants Inweres, Ingwœres, Iweres). The form Iweres in two late texts (DE, eleventh and twelfth centuries) probably represents a substitution according with the contemporary pronunciation of the Norse name, with loss of nasalization. For a full discussion of the whole Sippe and the etymological relationships of its various members see Noreen's article Yngve, Inge, Inglinge m. m., Namn och Bygd, viii, 1 ff.
