11.  Wodanaz Greek= Hermes Norse= Odin  Punraz = Greek= Ares Norse= Tyr  Teiwaz=Roman= Jupiter Norse= Thor Nerbuz Norse= Njord, Roman= Terra

12.  Teiwaz was the same as Zeus. They have the same powers. Thor, has slightly different powers because in one myth, he brought a ram back from the dead. In the Greek, Zeus cant do that.  Wodanaz is the Norse equal of Odin, the king of the gods and god of poetry. But in Greek, Hermes is equal to Wodanaz, but Hermes isn't a king, or the god of poetry.

13.  Punraz is equal to Ares in Greek, and Tyr in Norse. All of them are gods of war.  Nerbuz is equal to the Norse god Njord, and the Greek god Gaia. Njord is the god of strength, Gaia is the Earth. They all represent strength.
