Conceptual Development: The basic development of this name was: ᴱQ. Isilmo (as son of ᴱQ. Isil, QL/43) >> ᴱQ. Ingil (LT1/022, Ety/ING) >> ᴹQ. Ingwiel (SM/156, LR/326) >> Q. Ingwion (WJ/246) >> Q. Ingwil (NM/128). The meanings of earlier forms of this character’s name are unclear, but they all contain his father’s name as an element. See the entries for the earlier name for more details.
